LED Luminaires: Entering the Japanese Market to Implement PSE Certification on July 1st

As the world's largest LED producer, according to statistics, in the context of energy conservation, the LED market annual growth rate of 70% to 80%, the market capacity in 2010 reached 1.1 billion US dollars in the future will reach 11 billion US dollars. On July 1, 2011, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan issued the "Decree on Revising Part of the Enforcement Order of Electrical Appliance Safety Law." According to the latest regulations of the decree, LED light bulbs and LED light fixtures entering the Japanese market will be required to be affixed with the round PSE mark on July 1, 2012. This indicates that "LED lamps" and "LED lamps" have become the targets of the "Electrical Appliance Safety Law."

The safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards for Japanese LED product certification currently only have 1 provincial order, and the coordination standards for 2 provincial orders have not yet been issued. Therefore, LED-related IEC standards are not covered by the Electrical Appliance Safety Act. Starting from July 1, 2012, the most feasible and cost-effective method is to manufacture LED bulbs and LED light fixtures based on a technical benchmark of the Japanese provincial order 1.
