S-Mark, Japan

The Japan S-Mark is a voluntary safety mark based on IEC standards with Japanese national deviations. It was first introduced by the two quasi government authorities JQA (Japan Quality Assurance Association) and JET (Japan Electrical Safety and Environmental Technology Laboratories)
Now it is driven by the SCEA (Steering Council of Safety Certification for Electrical and Electronic Appliances and Parts of Japan) consisting of over 50 government bodies, manufacturers, importers, distributors, certification bodies and consumers. The S-Mark scheme also addresses EMC elements where appropriate. Initial factory inspection and annual inspection are required.
