Chris, My understanding is that Power supplies are governed by DENAN (appliance and material safety law), which replaced Dentori in 2001. External power supplies are categorized in the list of "specified products" (SP) and require an approved lab to perform the assessment and obtain the certification. Some other types of products fall in another list of "non-specified products" (NSP) and allow self certification similar to CE marking. However, both require EMC as well as safety documentation in the file. There are 2 paths, traditional Japanese or IEC standards. You can use J60950 (IEC 60950 with Japanese deviations) for power supplies. See Section 2 of http://www.jetro.go.jp/en/market/regulations/ The 2nd through 6th entries are applicable.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Maxwell Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 3:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Japanese Compliance Requirements Hello group, I’ve been asked about Japanese compliance requirements. Specifically, this brings up six questions to me: 1. Is there a Japanese equivalent to EN 61326-1? Or are there no EMC regulations on Test and Measurement equipment in Japan? Or, will Japanese authorities accept EN 61326-1? 2. Is there a Japanese equivalent to EN 61010-1? Or are there no safety regulations on Test and Measurement equipment in Japen? Or, will Japanese authorities accept EN 61010-1? 3. Same as question 2 for EN 60950. 4. Same question for EN 55022 and EN55024 (ITE equipment) 5. What about power supplies? Many of our products use external AC/DC adapters. Is there a special mark that I need to look for? Here, I’m wondering if we may be OK with our test and measurement equipment; but perhaps we’ll have to take a second look at the power supplies. Or, again, will Japanese authorities accept a power supplyEN 60950 or EN 61010-1? 6. What about “Connection Approval”? We have one product which has a phone jack for a remote reset circuit (you call the product, if the phone rings 3 times, it re-boots itself). How would we go about getting connection approval? 7. If we are short on approvals, do we have to test in Japan; or do they have Memoranda of Understanding with A2LA or NVLAP? I know that I’ll have to do some digging myself; but I was hoping that the group could at least flesh out some of the requirements for me. If all else fails; does anybody know of a good website, ideally maintained by the Japanese authorities, where I could search for these answers myself?
