Hello Richard, There are indeed new marking requirements in affect...Here is a link explaining the new law http://www.meti.go.jp/english/information/data/denan_grace050217.html Depending on what category your equipment falls under will determine what mark you must put on the label. If you don't get an answer to your question on the testing I suggest sending an e-mail directly to METI as I have found they are very responsive...You must be very detailed and specific with your question(s) to get the right answer but they do respond in a week or two... Here is the link to the METI website you can contact them from here http://www.meti.go.jp/english/ Hope this helps regards, John Tyra Manager Product Safety

We're being told that one of the requirements is for a dielectric withstand (hi-pot) test which must be conducted for one minute at 1000 V on all mixers. Each of these mixers is already hi-pot tested for compliance with UL requirements, but UL permits a one second test at 1200 V. The one second test is favored by the plant since it saves time. Our importer claims that the one second test is not permissible, that the test must be conducted for one minute. Since we don't have copies of the standards involved, do any of you have experience with these requirements and is it true that only a one minute hi-pot test is permissible? Thanks for any information you can provide on this subject. Richard I. Pittenger Agency Approval Engineer Food Retail Div.
