The circular PSE mark applies to all "non-specific electrical appliances" listed in Appendix 9 of the law, excluding the "specific electrical appliances." These products are numerous and relatively low-risk; therefore, the regulatory model relies primarily on self-verification by the companies. Manufacturers or importers must test their products according to Japanese technical standards (usually harmonized with JIS, JET, or IEC standards) and affix the circular PSE mark themselves after confirming product compliance. The mark consists of the letters "PSE" within a circular border, often accompanied by information about the declarant of conformity (such as the manufacturer). The entire process does not require mandatory third-party certification, but relevant test records and declarations of conformity must be properly preserved for verification. This model grants companies significant autonomy while emphasizing their primary responsibility. The diamond-sha...

For manufacturers planning to export telecommunications equipment, especially wireless products, to the Japanese market, understanding and completing mandatory local certifications is crucial for compliance.
