What are the requirements for PSE certified power adapters?

Answer:

Class A: designated electrical equipment and materials products must be certified by the third party certification authority licensed by the Ministry of industry and economy of japan. Under the DENAN method, the manufacturer has the obligation to preserve the test results and certification. The label must have a diamond PSE mark. Class B: other electrical equipment and materials products must be certified by the third party certification authority licensed by the Ministry of industry and economy of japan. According to the DENAN method, the manufacturer has the obligation to keep the test results and certification. The label must have a round PSE mark. For different products, PSE certification requirements are also different. It is divided into round PSE authentication and diamond PSE authentication. There is a difference between the two. Circular PSE certification does not require factory inspection, only the sample and product related technical information are provided, and the certification authority is ready.
If the product is designed in accordance with the first design and designed according to the national standard of Japan, all of the safety elements of the primary circuit shall comply with the national standards of japan. It should be noted that if the method 1 is selected, the CB report is not accepted. Neither mode 1 nor mode 2 is allowed to be used in combination. With regard to the factory inspection, the inspection organization will conduct a factory review of the manufacturing plant before issuing the certificate. After inspection and factory inspection have met the requirements, the PSE mark and the mark of the inspection institution are allowed to be used on the battery charger. 100% of the products are required to be tested, but different product testing items are different, usually high voltage test and protective earthing continuity test. For the charger, the certificate is valid for 3 years.
Japan has two sets of technical requirements for battery charger, customers can choose: 1. is a very traditional Japanese technology requirements is 2. coordinated with IEC60950 2nd +A4 second China requirements of customer choice, in this way, the Chinese and Japan is a member of the IECEE-CB, customers can get the CB report in Chinese CQC then, to the Japanese laboratory to apply CB report. If use 1, the CB report cannot be accepted. If the product is designed according to the second mode and designed according to the IEC60950 standard, all the safety components of the primary circuit, such as capacitors and thermal release, shall comply with the international IEC standard.
Diamond PSE certification is necessary to examine the factory, and domestic CCC application process is the same, the need for trial factory, long cycle, the cost is not low, a specific institution can be issued. The circular time is short, the factory is not needed, the cost is low, and the testing institution can issue the certificate by itself. A brief introduction for PSE certification issued by Japan, to replace the original electrical activities of the law against the "electrical and material safety regulations" is very complex, for example: mobile phone charger for mobile phone charger according to the regulations belong to a product, a product must be authorized by the government of Japan and METI management of laboratory testing. Such laboratories, such as: JQA, LET, UL, Apex, non Japanese laboratories, such as UL, are also authorized laboratories for such products (battery chargers and AC adapters). Therefore, enterprises applying for PSE certification should first select a Japanese authorized laboratory to obtain a test report issued by the laboratory to prove that the product meets the technical requirements of japan.
The new system will guarantee the safety of the products by unofficial institutions, not only replacing the original T logo, but also strengthening the punitive measures against importers. PSE certification is a mandatory certification in Japan, just like our CCC certification. Japan has issued two sets of mandatory certification catalogue.
