PSE (Product Safety of Electrical Appliance &Materials) certification (" Suitability Inspection "in Japanese) is a mandatory market access system for Electrical appliances in Japan, and an important content stipulated in The Electrical Appliance Safety Law of Japan. The electrical supplies are divided into "specific electrical supplies" and "non-specific electrical supplies". "Specific electrical supplies" contains 116 products; "Non-specific Electrical Products" includes 341 products,technical requirements include EMC and safety.
The former nameplate affixed with diamond PSE logo, the latter nameplate affixed with circular PSE logo, PSE certification fees are different for different categories of products.
