As far as I know, the requirements of JIS C8303 are not mutually exclusive with the requirements of UL 498 and UL 817. However, the requirements are divergent enough that it is not usually cost effective to make a cord for both North America and Japan.
I believe that Phino has a part (PHP-301) that is a NEMA 5-15P with both UL and DENAN approvals. This could be one source. http://www.phino.com/upload/view.asp?pid=PRODUCT021230000001 Volex has a NEMA 1-15P plug available with both UL and DENAN approvals, but I don't know if they have a NEMA 5-15P. I couldn't find the grounded plug at their web site. http://www.volex.com/index.php?option=c m_ecatalog&task=plugdetails&classid=1&countryid=1&plugid=63&Itemid=31 These are only the vendors of which I know have the dual approvals. There are likely other vendors with acceptable parts.

I've been trying to find a cord set that would satisfy both North American and Japanese requirements for a plain vanilla NEMA 5-15 plug to C13 configuration. I checked the major international cord set vendors in the US and can't find a single one. They look the same visually but there must be some technical requirement that makes it difficult or impossible to do both? Is it a wire or plug issue? Thanks in advance. -- Dan Roman, N.C.E.
