Japan Releases New Version of Electrical Safety Law Safety Standard J62368-1 (2023)
On May 1, 2023, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan revised Appendix 12 of the Electricity Safety Law and released the latest version of standard J62368-1 (2023). This standard is based on the third edition of the international product safety standard IEC 62368-1 (2018), incorporating local differences in Japan. The third edition CB report certificate of IEC 62368-1 (2018) can now be used to apply for PSE certification.
Version change requirements
1. The old version of standard J62368-1 (2020) will be abolished after its expiration on April 30, 2026. Before the expiration, enterprises can issue certificates based on the free choice of J62368-1 (2023) or J62368-1 (2020) standards;
2. The existing diamond shaped PSE J62368-1 (2020) certificate remains valid for 5 years and is not subject to the date limit of April 30, 2026, and can be used up to the validity period on the certificate;
3. The circular PSE logo requires Smark to upgrade from J62368-1 (2020) to J62368-1 (2023) by April 30, 2026.
PSE is a mandatory safety certification issued by the Japanese government for electronic products. According to the Electrical Products Safety Law of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (IETI) of Japan, general electrical equipment, portable generators with a rated voltage of 30V-300V, and lithium ion batteries with a single cell volume energy density of over a certain value and non-specific use must obtain PSE certification before being exported to Japan for sale.
PSE is divided into circular PSE logo and diamond PSE logo
Diamond PSE logo certification: It needs to be issued by a third-party certification agency recognized by NETI, and the testing items include safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), factory review, etc;
Circular PSE Mark Certification: Generally for product inspection, there is no requirement for the audit factory, and it can be issued by qualified domestic laboratories for inspection;
Product control scope
Diamond PSE: 116 specific electrical items (electrical items with a high probability of danger, including electrical equipment with a rated voltage of not less than 100V, and portable generators with a rated voltage of 30V-300V);
Circular PSE: 341 types of non-specific electrical appliances (excluding specific electrical appliances with a high probability of danger, including electrical equipment with a rated voltage of not less than 100V, lithium-ion batteries with a single cell volume energy density of a certain value or above and non-specific use);
Note: After obtaining PSE certification for the product, Japanese importers also need to register and file with METI locally based on the PSE report.
