In order to become a notifying supplier, all persons engaged in manufacturing or importing electrical appliances in Japan must notify the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) when starting their business. There are two lists of specified electrical appliances and materials for Category A (115 items) and Category B (338 items). Other Japanese regulations apply to products not listed in Category A or B lists. As far as imported electrical appliances are concerned, it is the importers who are responsible for ensuring that they meet the mandatory technical requirements, and who have the right to attach the PSE markings that include the name of the importer. Japanese Radio Law (JRF) and the Japanese Telecommunication Business Law approvals are needed for wireless/telecom products
