Certification introduction:

VCCI is Japan's electromagnetic compatibility certification mark, managed by the Voluntary Control Committee for Interference from Information Technology Equipment. VCCI certification is optional, but information technology products sold in Japan generally require VCCI certification. Manufacturers should first apply to become a VCCI member before they can use the VCCI mark. In order to be recognized by VCCI, the EMI test report provided must be issued by a testing agency registered and recognized by VCCI, and Japan currently does not have a standard for immunity.

Necessity of VCCI certification:

Although VCCI certification is optional, it is used by many companies to prove the quality of their products. Therefore, VCCI certification is only "voluntary" in theory, and market pressure makes it practical.

BACL has been accepted as a partner by Japan's unofficial Committee for Control of Interference (VCCI). 

A product's Class A label must indicate that the product complies with radio frequency exposure regulations, and Class B products can display only the basic VCCI symbol.

1. Class A equipment: Must meet the restrictions of Class A. ITE equipment other than Class B.

2. Class B equipment: Must meet the restriction requirements of Class B. Class B is for home environment (home environment refers to an environment where radio and television receivers can be used within 10m of information technology equipment, or an environment where radio and television receivers can be used) ) are referred to as products used in residential environments), including: equipment used in non-fixed locations, such as portable equipment powered by rechargeable batteries, communication terminal equipment powered by communication networks, personal computers and portable word processors, and connections thereto peripheral equipment, fax equipment, etc.

Japan PSE certification introduction

Certification Introduction:

PSE certification is a mandatory safety certification in Japan, which is used to prove that electrical and electronic products have passed the safety standard test of the Japanese Electric and Material Safety Law (DENAN Law) or the international IEC standard. Japan's DENTORL Law (Electrical Device and Material Control Law) stipulates that 506 kinds of products must pass safety certification to enter the Japanese market. Among them, 165 kinds of A-type products should obtain the diamond-shaped PSE mark, and 341 kinds of B-type products should obtain the circular PSE mark

Since April 1, 2001, the Electrical Product Control Act (DENTORL) has been officially renamed the Electrical Product Safety Act (DENAN). Unlike the control of the agreement provisions of the previous regulatory system, the new system will ensure product safety by unofficial agencies.

Basic information of PSE certification

Whether mandatory: mandatory
Certificate validity: for diamonds, 3-7 years, product based. For round, no validity period, no certificate, only VOC can be issued
Factory inspection requirements: For diamonds, only the first factory inspection is required, no annual review. For round, no factory inspection requirements
Licensee requirements: for diamond, factory / importer. For round, no requirements

Technical information: Voltage frequency AC 100V, 50Hz / 60Hz, plug JIS 8303
 

Certification classification
According to Japan's "Electrical Product Safety Law" PSE certification is divided into two categories.

PSE diamond certification: Among them, it is easy to cause electric shock, fire and other accidents, and there are 165 kinds of products with greater danger, which are classified as "specific electrical products — called Class A electrical products", such as chargers and adapters;

PSE circular certification: the remaining 341 products with less harmfulness are classified as "non-specific electrical products-called Class B electrical products", most of which are large and small household electrical appliances, lighting products, lithium batteries, etc.
 

Applicable product range
Diamond PSE
Electric wires, wiring appliances, current limiters, transformers, stabilizers, electric heating appliances, electric power application machinery, AC electrical machinery, portable generators, other AC machinery, electrical conduits, small AC motors, light sources and light sources Applied machinery, batteries, etc. belong to the product range specified by the Safety Law for Certain Electrical Supplies, such as: DC power supply devices, switches and sockets, electric water heaters, power cords and plugs, other household appliance transformers (AC-AC power products), etc. 165 products.

Round PSE
Products that fall outside the specific electrical appliance safety law, such as: electric blankets, electric steamers, electric irons, electric ovens, microwave ovens, hair humidifiers, refrigerators, electric mixers, electric egg cookers, and electric insulation basins , Hair dryer, electric humidifier, projector, washing machine, incandescent bulb, fluorescent lamp, table lamp, decorative lamp, advertising lamp, lithium battery and all 341 products such as LED bulbs and LED lamps.

Application process
1. The client prepares samples and materials to submit to the testing agency
2. The testing organization's laboratory performs the test. If it is a PSE round, LCS will issue a statement letter.
3. For PSE diamonds, an inspection is needed.
4. After passing the test and inspection, the issuing authority issues a PSE diamond certificate

Application materials
1. Application Submission Information: Relevant Application Form
2. Test preparation data
1. CB report (including Japanese difference test)
2, circuit diagram
3.PCB design drawings related to safety regulations
4.Specifications of transformer and coil parts
5.List of key components and their certificates
6, Japan manual or assembly manual
7. Japan nameplate and warning signs (including PSE mark and notified supplier name)
