Just one clarification as I noticed what I wrote may be unclear. The power supply Mfg must create a CoC for each power supply to be imported into Japan. This means every time they build a power supply that you will import into Japan you must have a separate CoC for that supply. As part of the CoC there is a visual inspection, functional and production line testing which must verified for each supply and the results listed on the CoC. There does not seem to be any official CoC form so we created our own based on the required content.
One way to avoid creating individual CoC's for each power supply is to do a batch CoC where you reference a serial number run for a specified period of production. We ask our vendors to do this on a monthly bases but for large volume production this may need to be done for a shorter period of time as the inspectors name must be on the CoC and if there were 100K power supplies built that month it would be impossible for one person to have tested each supply and METI may question this during their audit. Some of the above was learned based on feedback from METI when our Japan facility was audited so I feel pretty confident it is accurate. If anyone has had a different experience I would be interested in hearing what you have found.

Category A Specified products: These require accredited third party testing and certification. These types of product require to be marked with the <PS>E diamond mark. Wall/ Floor wart power supplies fall under this category http://www.jet.or.jp/common/data/en/law/pse/list_of_items.pdf 2. Category B Non-Specified Products: These types of products are a self declaration so you can use your UL/CB report which covers the Japanese National Deviations to self declare and mark your product with the (PS)E circle mark. http://www.meti.go.jp/english/policy/economy/consumer/pse/index.html#press http://www.jet.or.jp/en/law/pse/ Be aware that there is more to importing a power supply into Japan then just having the <PS>E diamond mark on the supply. You must have an registered importer, "reporting supplier", who is willing to take responsibility for the power supply. The "reporting supplier" importer or Agent is required to obtain Certificates of Conformities form the PS vendor for all power supplies imported into Japan. The importer or Agent must get a an original signature copy of the <PS>E certificate from the power supply vendor to keep on record. METI will at some point audit the "reporting supplier" to be sure they are collecting the Certificates of Compliance from the PS Mfg. and that that they have copies of the original signature certificates on file. I can send you a power point presentation which helps explain the process if interested. Hope this helps.
