1. Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law (DENAN) Explanation for “Denki Yōhin” - Electrical Applianceand Materials In the DENAN, ”Denki Yōhin” is classified into two categories -- “Category A” and “Category B” Category A product :Need to obtain “Certificate of Conformity (CoC) by Registered Conformity Assessment Body (RCAB)= Registered by Japanese Government. Category B product :Not necessary to get CoC, but there is the obligation to conform to the Technical Requirements stipulated by the Ministerial Ordinance. Self- verification (confirmation) can be done by manufacturer. NOTE: There are many other products not being in scope of DENAN Law. And, even if subjecting to DENAN, there are also products being in scope of another regulation, e.g., therapeutic apparatus for households use, microwave oven, etc.

1. Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law (DENAN) Legal marks stipulated by DENAN Law in Japan There are two kinds of legal marks; one for specified electrical appliances and materials and another for other electrical appliances and materials. Marking for Category A(specified electrical appliances and materials ) For electric cables/cords, fuses, wiring devices etc, if there is not enough space for marking, manufacturers, etc. it may be marked as “<PS>E” instead of this Mark. Notifying Supplier’s name and RCAB name who conducted the “Conformity Assessment” have to be indicated near the PSE-diamond mark. Marking for Category B(other electrical appliances and materials )(those not specified in Category A) For electric cables/cords, conduits and its accessories, fuses, wiring devices etc, if there is no enough space for the notifying supplier’s name, it may be marked as “(PS)E” instead of this Mark.
