Standard & market guideJapan PSETTS / Certification

Where it applies

Applies to electrical appliances and materials in Japan’s statutory scope, including power supplies, cables, appliances, LED lamps and secondary batteries. Category determines round or diamond PSE.

What the evidence needs to show

  • Confirm the Japanese responsible supplier and category first
  • Technical compliance, self-inspection and records are ongoing duties
  • Specified products require conformity assessment by a registered CAB

Build the evidence in this order

  1. Confirm listed item and category
  2. Assign Japanese importer/manufacturer responsibility
  3. Complete testing, CAB assessment or self-inspection
  4. Apply marking and retain records

Common misunderstandings

  • Acceptance of overseas reports depends on methods, laboratory and responsible-supplier review
  • Testing alone generally cannot complete PSE duties without a Japanese responsible supplier
