What is PSE Japan certification？

PSE certification is a compulsory safety certification in Japan. It is used to prove that electrical and electronic products have passed the safety standards tests of the DENAN Law or international IEC standards. Japan's DENTORL Law (Electrical Device and Material Control Law) stipulates that 498 products must pass the safety certification to enter the Japanese market. Among them, 165 kinds of Class A products should obtain the diamond-shaped PSE mark, and 333 kinds of Class B products should obtain the round PSE mark.

From April 1, 2001, the "Electrical Product Control Law (DENTORL)" has been officially renamed "Electrical Product Safety Law (DENAN)". Unlike the control of the conventional regulations, the new system will be guaranteed by unofficial agencies to ensure product safety.
