JIS C 62368 Safety Testing for Commercial Electronic Equipment
The Japan Industrial Standard (JIS) C 62368 is a comprehensive safety standard designed to ensure the safe use of commercial electronic equipment. This standard addresses potential hazards associated with electrical shock, fire risk, and thermal runaway. Compliance with JIS C 62368 is mandatory for manufacturers in Japan who produce or sell commercial electronic products that may be exposed to end-users.
The standard covers a wide range of products, including but not limited to televisions, monitors, home appliances, power supplies, and other consumer electronics. The testing protocol encompasses multiple aspects such as electrical insulation, overcurrent protection, surge suppression, and thermal management systems. These tests are crucial for ensuring that the equipment is safe under normal operating conditions and in case of faults.
Testing laboratories like ours offer a full suite of services to help manufacturers comply with JIS C 62368 requirements. Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to perform all necessary tests according to international standards, including those from ISO, ASTM, EN, IEC, and IEEE. This ensures that our clients receive accurate results that are internationally recognized.
Our testing process typically involves several key steps: initial consultation with the client, preparation of test specimens, execution of specific tests as per JIS C 62368, and finally, detailed reporting of findings. During specimen preparation, we ensure that each product is representative of its intended use and can be subjected to realistic stress conditions.
The testing itself involves various procedures aimed at evaluating the safety features of commercial electronic devices. For instance, we conduct insulation resistance tests to check for any potential electrical hazards, dielectric strength tests to assess voltage breakdown in insulating materials, and overcurrent protection tests to ensure that circuit breakers or fuses function correctly.
Thermal management is another critical area addressed by JIS C 62368. We employ advanced thermal analysis techniques such as calorimetry and heat dissipation studies to verify the performance of cooling systems in electronic devices. Additionally, we perform short-circuit tests to evaluate how quickly a device can safely interrupt an electrical fault.
Once all tests are completed, our team prepares detailed reports that summarize the results of each test. These reports include not only numerical data but also graphical representations and recommendations for improvements if necessary. Compliance with JIS C 62368 is essential for any company wishing to enter or maintain a presence in the Japanese market.

Why It Matters
Compliance with JIS C 62368 is not just about meeting regulatory requirements; it's also a matter of protecting consumers and ensuring the reliability of commercial electronic equipment. Non-compliance can lead to product recalls, legal action, and loss of market share. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers demonstrate their commitment to safety and quality, which enhances brand reputation and customer trust.
The standard is particularly important because it covers a broad spectrum of potential hazards that could arise from the misuse or malfunction of electronic devices. For example, improper grounding can lead to electric shocks, while inadequate thermal management can result in fire risks. Ensuring these aspects are addressed through rigorous testing helps prevent accidents and injuries.
Moreover, JIS C 62368 promotes a harmonized approach to safety across different types of electronic products. This uniformity simplifies compliance for manufacturers and facilitates easier trade between countries that recognize the standard. It also encourages innovation by providing clear guidelines on what constitutes safe design practices.
