Strong Emphasis on Quality Assurance System
The Reliability Testing Section of the Quality Assurance Dept. in Kyoto Techno Center conducts type testing for all new and re-designed products.
Evaluation test
Our Quality Assurance Dept. conducts a prototype evaluation before releasing a new product. We validate the products based on the various regulations / standards and the company standards mainly classified into four categories. In addition, we conduct an EMC*1 test as a part of the evaluation test.
Our anechoic chamber used for the EMC test is certified and registered by the official body (VCCI*2), and we conduct an official test instead of a simplified test.
Company standards | Number of standards |
---|---|
Standards on the functions | 42 |
Standards on the performance | 33 |
Standards on the reliability | 48 |
Standards on the mechanism | 9 |
Total | 132 |
Anechoic chamber certified and registered by the official body (VCCI*2)
A large shielded room of 6 m x 6 m where multiple tests can be conducted simultaneously
The type tests required to acquire the CE marking are as in the following table. All of them are conducted in our facilities at Kyoto Techno Center (Kizugawa-City, Kyoto).

- *1. EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) :
- Tests to check the effect by applying an electromagnetic noise to a device and to measure the electromagnetic wave and conductive common mode noise emitted from the device.
- *2. VCCI (Voluntary Control Council for Interference by information technology equipment) :
- known as Voluntary Control Council for Information Technology Equipment. An industry organization in Japan that discusses the regulations on the radio waves emitted from the information technology equipment
