As the core power source of aircraft, UAV batteries usually use lithium-ion or polymer battery technology, which has the characteristics of high energy density and lightweight. Its performance directly affects the endurance and safety of UAVs, so in the process of production, sales and use, it is necessary to strictly follow relevant international standards. Currently, drone batteries exported to the Japanese market must pass PSE certification, which is a "pass" to enter the market.
Why do drones need PSE certification?
PSE certification is a compulsory market access system required by Japan's "Electrical Products Safety Law", covering electrical products such as batteries and chargers. Products that fail to pass the certification not only cannot be sold in Japan, but also may face recalls or legal penalties due to safety concerns. For UAV manufacturers, PSE certification is not only a compliance requirement, but also an important way to enhance product competitiveness and user trust.
Necessary information for PSE certification
1, product information: including battery model, specifications, circuit design drawings, etc.;
2, test report: charge and discharge performance, safety test data issued by Japan approved laboratory;
3, Enterprise qualification: business license, ISO quality management system certificate (if any);
4, instruction manual: Japanese version instruction manual, need to mark PSE logo and safety warning;
5. Application Form: Complete the PSE certification application form.
PSE certification process step-by-step guide
1, preliminary consultation: confirm the product category (diamond PSE or circular PSE), select the compliance testing program;
2, sample inspection: send the battery sample to the designated laboratory for safety and compatibility testing;
3, data submission: sort out technical documents and test reports, submit to the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) for the record;
4, audit and certification: through the audit to obtain PSE certificate, the product can be affixed with certification mark;
5. Annual audit maintenance: Factory audit is required every year to ensure continuous compliance with standards.
The importance of PSE certification for UAV enterprises
1. Market access: the necessary conditions to open the Japanese market and avoid trade barriers;
2, quality endorsement: certification process to verify product safety, reduce the risk of use;
3, brand trust: PSE logo to provide consumers with confidence to buy, enhance the brand premium ability.
Handling PSE certification for UAV batteries may seem complicated, but through systematic data preparation and standardized testing processes, enterprises can efficiently complete compliance transformation. Whether it is to explore overseas markets or enhance product competitiveness, PSE certification is an indispensable part of the UAV industry chain. In the future, with the tightening of global regulation, the layout of certification in advance will become an important step in the strategic development of enterprises!
