1. Introduction to PSE certification
PSE verification is a mandatory safety verification in Japan, which stipulates that products sold on Amazon **Japan** have been tested according to the Japanese Household Appliances and Raw Materials Safety Law or the world's IEC standards. PSE certification is a kind of safety certification for electrical and electronic products in Japan, and its full name is Product Safety Evaluation Certificate. The certification is mainly for household appliances, auto parts, semiconductors and other products, and is a mandatory certification stipulated in Japan's "Electrical Appliances Safety Law".
PSE (Product Safety of Electrical Appliance &Materials) certification (called "fit inspection" in Japanese) is a mandatory market access system for electrical appliances in Japan, and is an important content stipulated in Japan's "Electrical Appliance Safety Law", which divides electrical appliances into "specific electrical appliances" and "non-specific electrical appliances", of which "specific electrical appliances" contain 116 products;"Non-specific electrical appliances" contains 341 products, and the technical requirements include EMC and safety.
The nameplate is affixed with a circular PSE logo, and the PSE certification fee is different for different categories of products. Products that fall under the "Non-Specified Electrical Appliances" catalogue and enter the Japanese market must be confirmed to meet the technical standards of Japanese electrical appliances through self-testing and self-declaration, and a circular PSE mark must be affixed to the nameplate.
In 2001, Japan's Electricity Safety Law was changed and renamed the Electrical Product Safety Act (DENAN) by the Electrical Products Control Act (DENTORL). The Denan method divides products into two categories: A and B.
Class A PSE unique household appliance product quality certification products include: cables, circuit breakers, wiring devices (electronic parts, lighting appliances, etc.), current limiters, transformers, electronic ballasts;Electric heating devices, electric power use machinery and equipment (electrical products), electronic application machinery and equipment (high-frequency epilators);Other AC current mechanical equipment supplies (electric shock insect killers, DC regulated power supply equipment), energized modules.
It mainly includes some special products, such as the need to be approved by the Ministry of International Economy and Light Industry of Japan, the manufacturer is responsible for maintaining the prismatic PSE label in the experimental process and the result verification label.
Class B non-special PSE verification commodities for Japanese power engineering include: verification of the Japanese round PSE logo, all goods under the catalog of non-unique electrical appliances into the Japanese sales market, must be tested by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Accreditation Laboratory, certified in line with the Japanese household appliances standards and specifications, and after obtaining the standard test report PSE verification, the PSE circular logo can be pasted on the goods, and the commercial housing can enter the Japanese market.
2. PSE certification test standards:
PSE certification requires that products must meet the relevant test standards established by the Japanese Industrial Standards Board (JIS) to ensure that the product meets legal requirements in terms of safety, performance and environmental impact. The following are the main test criteria:
1.Safety Testing Standards:
These standards specify the technical requirements that must be met in terms of fire protection, protection against electric shock, mechanical safety, etc.
1.1JISC0601: Standard standard standard for general requirements for medical electrical equipment.
1.2JISC0950: Safety Standard for Household and Similar Electrical Appliances.
1.3JISC0830: Safety Standard for Lighting Appliances.
Wait a minute. 2.Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Test Standards:
This standard stipulates that the interference generated by the product in the electromagnetic environment shall not exceed the specified limit, and requires the product itself to have a certain degree of anti-interference to ensure that it will not operate abnormally due to external electromagnetic interference.
2.1JISC6000-3-2 3: Electromagnetic compatibility standard.
Wait a minute. 3.Environmental Test Standards:
3.1ROHS Directive: Restrict the use of hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium in products.
3.2EUP Directive: Requires that the environmental service life, ** and handling of products meet the requirements.
3.3. The Law on Small Household Appliances stipulates that the requirements for the handling of small household appliances are stipulated.
3. Circular and diamond-shaped PSE certification needs to prepare materials
Information to be submitted for round PSE certification application:
1.Application form.
2.Product Manual.
3.Product datasheet.
4.Instruction manual.
5.PCB design drawings.
6.List of key components and their certificates.
7.Test report (CB report or other international certification report).
Information to be submitted for diamond PSE certification application:
All of the above are needed, and the information is being added.
8.Product structure diagram and related information.
9.In-house factory checklist and calibration certificate.
10.Japanese Instruction Manual or Assembly Manual.
11.Japanese nameplates and warning signs (including PSE marks and the name of the notified company).
Fourth, the process of PSE certification
1.Submit the application: The applicant needs to submit an application for PSE certification to the Japan MIC, and fill in the application** and provide relevant information as required.
2.Data review: Japan MIC will review the information submitted by the applicant and determine whether a sample test is required.
3.Sample Testing: If a sample test is required, Japan MIC will notify the applicant to send the sample to the designated laboratory for testing. The test content is mainly for the safety performance and electromagnetic compatibility of the product.
4.Audit report: The laboratory will issue a report based on the test results, and the Japanese MIC will issue a PSE certification certificate if the report is audited and approved.
5.Certificate validity: The validity period of the PSE certification certificate is 5 years, but the certificate needs to be re-applied and reviewed before expiration.
5. Circular and diamond-shaped PSE certification processing cycle
1.Circular PSE certification: The test report is issued by the factory self-declaration or a third-party laboratory certification body, and the time is relatively short, about 1-2 weeks.
2.Diamond PSE certification requires factory inspection, and the certification cycle is generally about 4-6 weeks, depending on the standard and product type applied.
6. Whether the certification mark needs to be affixed after PSE certification
After passing the PSE certification, the corresponding certification mark needs to be affixed to the product to prove that the product complies with the relevant safety standards and regulations.
In short, PSE certification is a kind of electrical and electronic products sold in the Japanese market that must meet the date of oral recognition of strong production and production. For this product, passing PSE certification can not only ensure the safety and quality reliability of the product, but also improve the credibility and market competitiveness of the enterprise. Therefore, applicants need to carefully understand the requirements and processes of PSE certification, and operate and manage them in strict accordance with the regulations.
