Description
The PSE mark is a mandatory mark for Japan in accordance with the Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Law (DENAN).
It is administered by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
Products regulated by the DENAN Law are classified into Specified Products and Non-Specified Products.
Specified Products require certificates from a Conformity Assessment Body and the application of the PSE mark, while Non-Specified Products require mandatory conformity declared via the application of the self-affixed PSE mark, but not necessarily via certificates from a METI Conformity Assessment Body.

Regulatory context
Under the PSE law, electrical products are divided into two risk-based categories:
Specified Electrical Products:
Products with a history of market accidents, or products likely to cause injury, are called "specified electrical products" and require third-party evaluation by a METI-registered conformity assessment body (Registered CAB). Specified electrical products must display the diamond PSE mark.
Non-Specified Electrical Products:
Low-risk products are called "Non-Specified Electrical Products" and are subject to a self-declaration system. Non-specified electrical products must be marked with the circle PSE.
