Decoding lamps products Japan PSE certification

[Source: Gaogong LED's "LED Good Products" magazine April issue (P82) text / Lin Zhi]

With the development of LED and its wide application in lighting products, more and more LED lighting products are exported to Japan. In response to the blanks in the previous regulations on LED lighting products, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) announced on July 1, 2011 the "Decree on Amending the Contents of the Electricity Security Act." The decree stipulates that from July 1, 2012, LED bulbs and LED lamps that enter the Japanese market must be labeled with a round PSE.

Japan PSE certification

PSE (Product Safety of Electrical Appliance & Materials) certification (referred to as "fitness check" in Japan) is a mandatory market access system for Japanese electrical appliances, and is the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law of Japan. An abbreviated part of the important content specified in the Electric Security Law, DENAN Act.

After April 1, 2001, the electric security law replaced the previous old law, the Electrical and Material Control Act (the DENTORI Act), and Japan also cancelled the T mark, and the government no longer issued certificates directly, instead of METI. Manage electric safety law.

However, METI does not issue certificates directly, but authorizes third-party certification bodies (such as JET, JQA, COSMOS, etc.) to conduct product conformity assessment tests and issue certificates. Outside of Japan, these third-party certification bodies conduct test certification by collaborating with other laboratories such as Intertek.

The content and influence of the new electric law DENAN law

The original electric safety method DENAN method divides control electrical products into two categories:

1) Class A, specific electrical appliances

To enter the Japanese market, such products must be certified by a third-party certification body authorized by METI to obtain a certificate of conformity and mark the PSE diamond mark on the label;

2) Class B, non-specific electrical appliances

These products must enter the Japanese market through self-test and self-declaration, or through third-party testing, to confirm compliance with the Japanese electrical equipment technical standards, and the PSE round mark on the label.

On July 1, 2012, the latest version of the electric security law was implemented, which included the inclusion of LED lamps and LED bulbs that were not in A and B in category B (non-specific electrical appliances).

For luminaire products, the relevant classifications in the new DENAN method are shown in the following table:



LED lighting products belonging to the scope of electric safety law

According to the new electric safety method, the following LED bulbs and LED lamps are subject to control (implemented on July 1, 2012):

Rated voltage 100V ~ 300V, 50Hz, 60Hz, rated power 1W and above, there is a metal bulb LED bulb; rated voltage 100V ~ 300V, 50Hz, 60Hz, rated power 1W and above LED lamps (except explosion-proof lamps).

In order to more clearly define the scope of application of LED bulbs and LED lamps, the "Explanation on the scope of electrical appliances, etc." (implemented on April 2, 2012), the following supplements are given:

A general-purpose bulb LED lamp conforming to the standard JIS C 8156 (2011), and a bulb-shaped LED lamp similar to this. Namely: the standard JIS C8156 applies the rated power below 60W, the rated voltage is greater than 50V and less than or equal to 250V, using E-shape (including E11, E12/E15, E14/E20, E17/E20, E26/E25), B-shaped (B22d ) or the self-ballasted LED lights of the GX53 lamp head, which are subject to regulation.

If it is not within the scope of JIS C 8156 (2011), but it meets the following three conditions at the same time, it is also subject to control at this stage:

(1) The shape of the bulb is spherical;
(2) for general lighting in the home or similar setting;
(3) The lamp cap conforms to JIS C 7709.

LED bulbs that are not regulated are:

(1) DC power supply, and there is no AC/DC conversion circuit inside;
(2) The shape of the lamp is elongated or ring-shaped (cause: non-spherical);
(3) E39 lamp holder (cause: this type of lamp holder is not used in home or similar places);
(4) The lamp cap is a fitting (plug) type (cause: the lamp cap does not comply with the provisions of JISC 7709);
(5) The rated power is less than 1 watt (reason: not within the power range specified by the implementation order);
(6) The Christmas tree lights are classified as “decorative lamps” and are not covered by the LED bulbs.

as well as:

(1) Products that are not parts of general electrical appliances and that are not connected to them (other than the first paragraph of Article 2, Article 1);

(2) Connection parts that are easy to remove. ("Explanation on the range of electrical appliances, etc.", the AC/DC converter used in LED lamps, the LED control device in the "DC power supply device", the directory range of the diamond PSE; the LED module matched by the LED control device (light source) Part)), it is used in non-AC circuits, not subject to regulation);

(3) Products that have been included in the control object (such as table lamps, advertising lights, etc.), even if it uses LED light sources, it is still in the table lamp, advertising lights, and not within the control range of LED lamps;

(4) Although it is a product under control, it cannot be sold due to its violation of technical standards (such as an appliance equipped with an E27 lamp head, which violates Article 8(2) of the Eighth Schedule).
