Trying to conquer the Japanese electrical appliance market, but are stuck with the Electric Safety Law?
Japan's Electrical Appliance Safety Law is the first barrier to entry into this $8.2 trillion retail market.Without the correct PSE logo, your product will not be available on Amazon Japan!
🔍 A quick overview of the core knowledge of the electrical safety law:
Two product categories, two PSE logos:
- Specific Electrical Supplies: High-risk appliances, diamond PSE mark required✦ Third-party agency testing required
- Non-specified electrical appliances: general electrical appliances, circular PSE mark required ⊙, self-testable
Amazing facts: Even if your product has been certified in other countries, you still need to reapply for PSE in Japan!
📋 Five Steps to Compliance:
- Confirmation of product type (specified/non-specified/exempt)
- Submitting Business Declarations to METI
- Conformity to technical standards (Japan-specific or international standards + Japanese deviations)
- Conduct statutory inspections (third party testing required for specific items)
- Correctly labeled PSE marks and ratings
An absolutely avoidable mistake: Don't just save the PDF file; the law requires custody of the original certificate!
🚫 These products do not require PSE labeling:
- USB power supply (no AC adapter)
- Laptops, printers, and other electrical devices.
- Smartphones and other devices with built-in non-removable lithium batteries.
- Lithium batteries with volumetric energy density <400Wh/L
