1. Introduction to Certification

PSE certification is a compulsory certification in Japan, including safety and EMI, to prove that electronic and electrical products meet the requirements of the dated electrical appliance safety law or international IEC standards. Japan's Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Law stipulates that 457 kinds of products entering the Japanese market must pass safety certification. Among them, 116 specific electrical appliances should obtain the diamond-shaped PSE mark, and 341 products other than specific electrical appliances should obtain the circular PSE mark.
