Mandatory Third Party Conformity Assessment

PSE Mandatory Third-Party Conformity Assessment for "Specified electrical appliances and materials" under Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law

PSE JET

The Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law applies to enterprises that manufacture or import products in Japan. Please refer to this pamphlet of "Comprehensive Guide to Export Electrical Appliances and Materials to Japan". I-2 Domestic enterprises that seek to manufacture or import designated Specified Electrical AppliancePDFPSE are subject to conformity testing conducted by conformity assessment body and receive a certificate of conformity from the body.

I-3 Confirmation of conformity with the technical standards. I-4 Inspection of the manufacturing process from receiving to completed product and maintenance of records. I-5 Labeling showing aPSE, the name of an importer, the name of conformity assessment body and other related information legally required. However, since it is essentially impossible to perform the inspections of the manufacturing processes as specified in I-2 and I-3 in the case of domestic importers, this obligation can be fulfilled by having overseas manufacturing factories undergo inspections equivalent to the conformity assessments (under Article 13(2) of the enforcement regulations of the Law) to acquire a certificate of conformity and having the domestic importer obtain and retain a duplicate copy of the certificate. Specifically, this means testing of the products and confirmation of the testing facilities of the factory where the products are manufactured (refer to the flow chart).

In order to fulfill the obligations of I-2 and I-3, the domestic importer must retain copies of the records maintained by the overseas manufacturing factory.
