Hi all, The PSE mark (inside a diamond shape) for Japan does not apply to IT equipment that has an internal power supply. For IT equipment with an external power supply, only the external power supply must have the PSE mark. The category "A" list of items for "Electrical Appliances and Materials" lists cords and cables, appliance connectors, as well as other descriptors that would infer that AC power cords would require the PSE mark. The question I have is related to a PSE approved power cord: If a properly rated, PSE approved power cord is provided with a rack-mount computer (server) shipped from the US to Japan, is there a warning that must accompany the power cord stating something like "The attached power cable is only for this product. Do not use the cable for any other product." This "warning" seems counter-intuitive as a PSE mark would mean it is suitable for use. Has anyone been asked to provide a similar warning in Japan? I would be interested to hear about any experiences requiring a warning for an approved power cord.
