I suggest you send an e-mail to METI and ask them....I have done this numerous times and they have always answered within a week or two. They have been very helpful......As a suggestion you must be very specific with your questions and don't make the e-mail too long as it can muddy the waters......good luck

"Kim Boll Jensen" <[email protected]> Sent by: To [email protected] "EMC PSTC" <[email protected]> cc 10/05/2006 05:57 Subject AM Japan Hi all I'm trying to understand the Japanees approval regulations, but I'm confused. My product is a small wallplug type switch-mode PSU with an output of 5 Vdc, 1A. For electrical safety under "List of Specified Electrical Appliances and Materials 112 items (Category A)" part 5; 1)(2)it is written that PSU's under 10VA is excluded. Does this mean that they do not need to be PSE marked and does it mean that they are not under any requirements for registration or approval in Japan ?
