Regulatory Basis
JP · Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act; technical standards and their interpretation
Electrical products: PSE scope and technical routes
Electrical products actually listed under the Act, including specified and non-specified categories. The household appliance, power supply, lamp, tool or battery definition must be confirmed individually.
JP · MHLW Guidelines for Comprehensive Safety Standards of Machinery; relevant workplace requirements
Machinery safety: risk assessment and Japanese technical basis
Industrial machinery and work equipment within the relevant workplace regime; product-specific mandatory rules remain separate from the general guideline.
Applicability depends on the product classification, intended use, configuration and actual sales territory. Manufacturing, placing-on-the-market and testing dates, together with transition provisions, are checked as required by each applicable rule. The directory identifies sources; it does not replace assessment of the specific model. Standards are identified by reference, and their authoritative texts remain with the issuing bodies. Official source documents retain their original language.
