Notice of Changes Due to the Revision of the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act

The technical requirements of the Ministerial Ordinance that sets the technical standards for electrical appliances under the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act have been in the process of unifying with the conformity standards of Appendix Table 12, which is based on the latest international standards.
The same revision is also planned for Appendix Table 3 (Fuses).

With this revision, the technical standard (applicable testing standard) for fuses will be changed to J60127-2 (Title: Miniature fuses – Part 2: Cartridge fuse-links, Text: JIS C 6575-2) as listed in Appendix Table 12.

In line with this, some changes (including the packing label and the electrical characteristics test conditions) will be made for the affected products.
Please note that there will be no changes to the electrical characteristics or manufacturing methods of the fuse itself.

Scheduled date of change: From shipments on or after July 1, 2026

We are contacting customers purchasing the affected products, but given the wide range of products affected, we will also post an announcement on our website.
Please contact your local SOC representative for more information.
