Hello Jeff,
UL and DENAN PSE marking are not exclusionary. There are vendors with both approvals. I have even seen one cord with UL, CSA, PSE and BSMI safety approval. http://www.quail.com/images/ACF542.pdf Please note that I am not necessarily recommending Quail. I am only using them as a reference to the existence of dual-approved cords. I am not sure if Japanese standards for test and measurement equipment are harmonized with 61010. The category “MEAS” doesn’t show up under Japan’s scope under the CB Scheme. http://members.iecee.org/IECEE/IECEEMem ers.nsf/0/0E94ADC979230D57C12572F10041615C/$file/japan-rr.pdf You can get a list of NCBs and CBTLs at the CB Scheme web site. One of these agencies should be able to tell you whether Japan has separate standards for test and measurement equipment. http://members.iecee.org/IECEE/IECEEMembers.nsf/welcome?ReadForm&query=61010 Ted Eckert Compliance Engineer Microsoft Corporation [email protected] The opinions expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. From: Jeff Collins [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 1:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Safety: Japan PSE vs UL Power Cords and Japan CB Cert to IEC 1010 Group, ( Sleepless in Japan ) I'm having a hard time finding a standard 120VAC 15 amp, 18 AWG power cord with both the UL and PSE Safety Marks. I've tried several power cord manufacturers and they state this combo does not exist. If so why not???? I have power supplies that are both PSE and UL recognized. Also, I have an inverter that is certified to IEC 1010 with a CB scheme certificate. We need Japan as part of the country deviations listed on the certificate but the Competent Body we chose is unable to list Japan to IEC 1010 on the certificate. Are there any CB's that can provide CB scheme certification for Japan to IEC 1010?
