PSE Mark
The Safety Law of Electrical Appliances of Japan divides electrical appliances into 2 groups, namely compulsory(specific) certification products(115 designated products), which uses diamond mark certification and voluntary(non-specific) certification products, which uses round mark and is also DOC of PSE certification.
