PSE is an important requirement in Japan electrical appliance safety compliance, but not all electrical products follow the same pathway. Before application, companies should confirm applicability based on product use, input/output, structure, power supply, and sales arrangement.
Document Preparation Focus
| Item | Review Focus |
|---|---|
| Product classification | Confirm whether the product is a specified or non-specified electrical appliance and which pathway applies. |
| Test standard | Confirm test items based on product structure, ratings, power supply, and intended use. |
| Technical documents | Prepare circuit diagram, critical component list, rating label, user manual, structure drawing, and product photos. |
| Responsible party | Review Japanese importer, filing party, manufacturer, brand, and document-retention responsibility. |
| Label and model | Confirm PSE labelling, rating information, model differences, series coverage, and manual consistency. |
Report and Label Boundary
PSE test reports and label documents should match the specific model, structure, critical components, and responsible-party arrangement. Power design, key component, factory, brand, model, or importer changes may require further review.
Green Ark Recommendation
Green Ark (Shenzhen) Certification Co., Ltd. recommends confirming product classification and Japanese responsible-party information before sample submission, then planning testing and label design. Products containing wireless functions, batteries, or energy-related features should also review TELEC, transport documents, or other applicable items.
