PSE Japan Electrical Appliance Safety Certification

PSE (Product Safety Electrical Appliance & Material)

The Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) is in charge of PSE certification as a mandatory certification implemented under the Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act of Japan. Those who are engaged in the manufacture or import of electrical products for the purpose of domestic sales in Japan are required to meet the technical feel of the electrical products and the provisions of the PSE mark. In addition, electronic products without the PSE mark are restricted for sale in Japan to prevent accidents resulting from their use.

The use of the symbols for specific electrical appliances and electrical appliances other than specific electrical appliances differs as follows.

  • Specified Electrical Appliances and Materials (SP: Specified Products) : Diamond PSE Mark, Registered Certification Body Name, Notification Business Name, Rating
  • Non-Specified Products (NP: Non-Specified Products)Yen PSE Mark, Name of Reported Company, Rating

If it is difficult to secure the PSE mark space due to the structure of the product, the PSE rhombic symbol can take over the display with triangle brackets, and the PSE circle symbol with brackets.

Specified electrical products (SP: Specified Products) 116 items such as electric wires, fuses, wiring fixtures, current limiters
Non-Specified Products (NP) 341 items such as electrical conduits, small AC motors, electric heating devices, etc.
