▍What is PSE Certification?

PSE (Product Safety of Electrical Appliance & Material) is a mandatory certification system in Japan. It is also called ‘Compliance Inspection’ which it is a mandatory market access system for electrical appliance. PSE certification is composed of two parts: EMC and product safety and it is also an important regulation of Japan safety law for electrical appliance.

ll the charger ports of electronic intelligent products be unified？
The proposal No.5080 at the fourth session of the 13th National Committee of the CPPCC proposes to unify the charger ports of electronic intelligent products in order to reduce e-waste and promote carbon neutralization.
The MIIT has made a reply to this proposal: With the rapid iteration of charging/data ports and charging technology, the current intelligent terminal market has formed a pattern which is dominated by USB-C interface and a variety of ports and charging technology coexist.
As the proposal says, the most of original chargers and USB cables will be put aside and cause a big waste after users change their devices. Giving great impetus to charging ports and technique fusion can reduce e-waste and improve the rate of resource utilization.
The reply of MIIC indicates to promote the unification of charging ports and technique fusion, and improve recovery rate of resource, which also means that charging ports will be approved. In the meantime, the recovery processing of electronic products will be enhanced, and the recovery rate of electronic products like abandoned charges will also be improved.
On January 17th 2022, the ECHA declared that four substances would be put in SVHC list (list of candidate substances). The list of SVHC has included 233 kinds of substances.
Of the four new substances added, one is used in cosmetics and found to have feature of interfering with the hormones in the body. Two of these are used in substances such as rubber, lubricants and sealants and can negatively affect human fertility. The fourth substance is used in lubricants and greases and is persistent, biocumulative, toxic (PBT) and harmful to the environment.
