Japan - PSE Mark for External Power Supplies

You will be shipping a product with external power supply to various customers in Japan, but do not have an importer yet. As required by METI, the PSE logo must be marked on the external power supply together with the certification body logo and importer name (reporting supplier) or logo as regsitered in METI. The importer (reporting supplier" must also hold a certified copy of the PSE cert.

Interested on some solutions to this problem when you have no importer in Japan yet but need to be ready since you have notify the power supply vendor to provide you with marked up power supplies with the PSE Mark and importer name (takes a long time).

Hi! There is no chance without an importer. Anyway you need one to sell your products in Japan. I reccomend to contact this organization, which is specialized to issue PSE marks for the DENAN law: http://www.tuv.com/jp/en/denan_1.html
They have also many infromation regarding the marking itself. Hope it helps!

How about using the power supply vendor importer information assuming they have an importer in Japan?

I am also thinking another possibility is to ship units to the customer and make it a requirement for them to stick a label with their importer name on the power supply. The power supply will be ordered from the vendor with the certification body logo and PSE Mark but is will be the responsility of the importer in Japan to stick their name on the power supply as they have registered with METI
