What is ITE?
Information Technology Equipment is a broad range of electrical and
electronic equipment including but not limited to:
How can I find out if my product is within the scope of product safety and/or
regulatory
requirements in specific Asian countries? Where can I get specific requirements
for the
countries mentioned above?
You can check with the designated regulatory body for a country you wish to
access. Please simply contact the Customer Service Representative at the UL
office nearest you. We can provide you with extensive information on getting
international certifications, including those for Asian countries, and assist you in
developing a streamlined Global Conformity Assessment strategy. UL’s local
staff interact daily with product certification organizations worldwide and they
know firsthand about how these organizations work.
What are the requirements for translating technical documents (e.g., manuals,
certificates, etc.) into the local language?
How long does it take to have my products certified for the various regional
Asian markets?
There are seven Asian countries that are member countries of the CB Scheme.
These include China, Japan, South Korea, India, Malaysia and Singapore. You
can use your CB Test Certificate and Test Report issued by one of the
participating countries and any NCBs to obtain national product certifications
from in other participating NCBs in member countries of the Scheme as a result
of investigation audits. In addition to UL’s Asian affiliates, UL offices worldwide
can provide professional advice and help in submitting applications under the
Scheme.
The DENAN law (Japan’s Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law) took
effect April 1, 2001, and was established with the purpose of preventing hazards
and radio interference that might be caused by electrical and electronic products
and components. The new law regulates 454 product types and officially replaces
the former DENTORI law. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. in the United States
and UL International Demko A/S in Denmark are currently the only Conformity
Assessment Bodies (CAB) outside of Japan that are accredited by Japan’s
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). As a CAB, UL is authorized
by METI to help manufacturers get the mandatory Japanese Specified Product
PSE Mark, which is required for market access.
How does the DENAN legislation compare to the European CE Marking
legislation?
Both legislations are the mandatory requirements for products entering into their
respective regions. While the DENAN Specified Product PSE Mark applies only
to products sold in Japan, products regulated under the law are categorized as
Specified Products (SPs) and Non-Specified Products (NPSs). SPs cover
products that require certificates by a METI CAB, while NSPs cover products
that require mandatory compliance but not necessarily via certificates by a
METI-accredited CAB. On the contrary, the CE Marking is a self-affixed
marking that indicates a declaration of compliance with applicable EU
Directives, a common set of mandatory criteria established and widely adopted
by the 18 member countries of the European Economic Area.
My product has a "T" mark approval from the Japanese Government, based on
JET (Japan Electrical Testing Laboratories) test data. Will UL accept this
approval and authorize use of the UL Label?
