Update time : 2024-10-01

Humidifiers sold in the Japanese market must comply with pse certification requirements, which is Japan's mandatory safety certification system designed to demonstrate that electrical and electronic products have passed safety standard tests under Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law (DENAN Law) or the international IEC standards. Below are the detailed steps for obtaining PSE certification for humidifiers in Japan:

 

Overview of PSE Certification

PSE certification (Product Safety of Electrical Appliance Materials) is a mandatory market access system for electrical appliances in Japan, governed by Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law. PSE certification is divided into two categories: diamond-shaped PSE certification applies to specified electrical and material categories, such as power adapters; round-shaped PSE certification applies to non-specified electrical and material categories, such as humidifiers.

 

PSE Certification Type for Humidifiers

Humidifiers generally fall under the "non-specified electrical and material category," meaning they need to obtain round-shaped PSE certification. This requires that the humidifier either self-declare or undergo third-party certification to prove compliance with Japan's relevant technical standards, and the product must carry the round PSE mark.

 

PSE Certification Process for Humidifiers

Before exporting a humidifier to Amazon Japan or other e-commerce platforms, the PSE certification must be completed. The general certification process is as follows:

 

1. Prepare Application Materials: Include the product manual, structural diagrams, circuit diagrams, product photos, application forms, etc. Ensure that all information is accurate and complies with the requirements of Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI).

2. Choose a Testing Agency: Select a laboratory recognized by METI to conduct the tests, ensuring the accuracy and legality of the test results.

3. Product Testing: Send the humidifier to the laboratory for safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests to ensure the product meets Japan's electrical appliance technical standards.

4. Submit Application: Submit the test report and other required documents to a METI-approved laboratory for further evaluation.

5. Review and Certification: After the certification body's review, if the product meets the requirements, a PSE certification certificate will be issued.

6. Labeling: Affix the round PSE mark on the product to indicate compliance with Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law.

 

METI Filing

In some cases, in addition to PSE certification, METI filing may also be required. Filing ensures that electrical equipment imported into Japan has obtained the appropriate certification and that its identifiers (e.g., manufacturer name, address, and product model) are recorded.
