Watch for a proposed amendment to Japan DENAN that will require PSE for some Li-ion batteries.
To affect batteries with energy density greater than or equal to 400 watts per liter. November 2008 has been indicated as target date for implementation. Heard that a Draft of the ordinance and the technical requirements are now in public comment phase. Unfortunately, have been unable to obtain more information of the proposed amendment.

In the US, there are product safety requirements imposed by UL and other NRTLs, which may include formal Recognition or Listing. In the EU, directive 91/157/EEC and its successor 2006/66/EC will likely apply. I would suggest that the battery manufacturer make this documentation available to you. Otherwise, TI (partnering with the manufacturer) will need to acquire it. I hope this helps.
