You can obtain a copy of the list from JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization). They do not have a copy available on-line, but they can mail you the list. You want a document entitled "S-Mark System: For Safety of Electrical Applicances and Materials". The JETRO web site is http://www.jetro.org/
I have a PDF copy of this document that I can send if you are interested. It is scanned at low resolution, but it is still legible. Let me know if you would like a copy and I can send it directly.

Please respond to "Russell, Ray" <[email protected]> Sent by: [email protected] To: "'IEEE PSTC'" <[email protected]> cc: From: "Russell, Ray" <[email protected]>@ieee.org on 07/27/2000 10:08 AM Subject: Japan Greetings, I understand that according to Japan's Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law there are 2 "classes" of products, A or B. A type are considered more risky appliances, and require a mandatory approval for the T mark. B items are considered less risky, and do not require the marking. What we have run into is that a regular air compressor is considered a B type appliance, where as if we put an electrical control box on it to control the inflation of a consumer product, then I'm being told by one source it has to be a type A. Is there a clear list or definition of these categories? I was searching the Net for information on Dentori, but have not found any sites. Do you know of any good sites on Dentori? I've already spoke with UL, and they quoted a price to do determine the category, but I think this information should be available somewhere.
