PSE
▍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.
▍Certification Standard for lithium batteries
Interpretation for METI Ordinance for Technical Requirements(H25.07.01)， Appendix 9，Lithium ion secondary batteries
▍Why MCM?
● Qualified facilities: MCM is equipped with qualified facilities which can be up to the whole PSE testing standards and conduct tests including forced internal short circuit etc. It enables us to provide different customized testing reports in the format of JET, TUVRH, and MCM etc.
● Technical support: MCM has a professional team of 11 technical engineers specialized in PSE testing standards and regulations, and is able to offer the latest PSE regulations and news to clients in a precise, comprehensive and prompt way.
● Diversified service: MCM can issue reports in English or Japanese to meet clients’ need. So far, MCM has completed over 5000 PSE projects for clients in total.
Applicable scope: UN38.3 is not only applicable to lithium-ion batteries, but also sodium-ion batteries
Some description contained “Sodium-ion batteries” are added with “Sodium-ion batteries” or deleted of “Lithium-ion”.
Add a table of test sample size: Cells either on standalone transportation or as components of batteries are not required to undergo T8 enforced discharge test.
It is suggested for enterprises which plan to manufacture sodium-ion batteries to pay earliest attention to relevant regulations. By such, effective measures can be taken to cope with regulations upon regulation enforcement, and smooth transportation can be guaranteed. MCM will constantly look into the regulation and standards of sodium-ion batteries, to provide requirement information to clients in timely manner.
BSN (Indonesian National Standards has issued a Plan National Technical Regulation Program (PNRT) 2022. The safety requirement of portable power bank using lithium-based secondary battery as a power source will be included in the list of certification program.
Power bank certificate testing standard will regard SNI 8785:2019 Lithium-ion power bank-Part: General safety requirements as testing standard, which refers to IEC standard: IEC62133-2, IEC60950-1, IEC60695-11-10, IEC60730-1, IEC 62321-8 and Indonesian National Standards: SNI IEC 62321:2015, and the scope of application is power bank with output voltage is less than or equal to 60V and energy less than or equal to 160Wh.
