Supplier Registration (Type Approval) Procedure
Introduction of Products for Trade
If you wish to do business with us, firstly please contact the Sourcing and Procurement Division of Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.

At that time, we may ask you to submit additional documents, product samples and others as necessary.
You will be notified as to the results of these checks either verbally or in writing. If good results are forthcoming, we will inform you about the type approval procedure (only for type-designated items) or the registration procedure.
Type Approval Procedure
Type Approval System
In order to achieve a safe, low-cost and high-quality electricity supply, it is necessary to procure items with excellent safety, quality and price at the right time. For this reason, for items procured repeatedly and continuously, we test (inspect) specified items prior to the actual transaction in order to ensure the quality of the products and to simplify acceptance inspections.
If the product you believe may be of interest to us is classified as a designated item, it is a condition for supplier registration to pass a test (referred to as “type approval”) as stated above.
