Conformity Assessment by conformity assessment body under the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law   Certification based on the Industrial Standardization Law   Operations as a Third Party Certification Body   Operations as an NCB under the CB Scheme   Assessment and Registration for ISO9001 and ISO14001   Agreement on Testing and Factory Inspection with Overseas Institutions   Operations as a Testing Body   Technical Cooperation with Overseas Institutions in ASEAN   Research and Testing upon Request from Government Agencies   Japan National Laboratory Accreditation System(JNLA) under the Industrial Standardization Law In conjunction with the revision of the Electrical Appliance and Material Control Law and the coming into force of the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law in April of 2001, JET was accredited by the government as the sole domestic inspection body that is qualified to conduct inspections of the conformity of Specified Electrical Appliance electrical products with the requirements of these statutes. Undergoing a conformity assessment is a requirement for selling electrical appliances in Japan, and accordingly, JET responds to requests for inspections from overseas manufacturers.     JET performs assessment and certification for conformity to JIS product standards as a Registered Certification body based on Industrial Standardization Law in following fields: B; Mechanical Engineering, C; Electronic and Electrical Engineering, G; Ferrous Materials and Metallurgy, H; Nonferrous Materials and Metallurgy, K; Chemical Engineering, T; Medical Equipment and Safety Appliances.       JET performs testing and certification of components, materials, electrical products, and so on as a third-party certification body. Electrical appliances that are exported to Japan are able to establish fairly and impartially that the products comply with the requirements of the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law by acquiring certification. This is its great benefit in the Japanese market. JET registers and certifies components and materials to be incorporated in electrical products, and this can be used in the same manner as conformity assessment and certification. Water-supply utensil exported to Japan is subject to the Water Works Law, and consequently, without certification it cannot be sold in Japan. Electrical products that are subject to these requirements (including Electric water heaters, Electric water coolers, Electric dishwashers, Automatic washing and drying toilets) can simultaneously be granted certification and be inspected for conformity assessment under the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law. With regard to photovoltaic systems, JET began registration of system interconnection devices linking solar modules installed on residential houses with electric power company systems in 1993. In addition, JET began calibration service for a secondary reference solar cell in 2002 and certification of photovoltaic modules in April of 2003. In the future, JET will certify entire systems from PV modules to system interconnection protection devices. For more information, contact the Research Division. E-mail:pvm@jet.or.jp       JET performs issuance and recognition activities of CB certificate as a national certification body (NCB) under the IECEE-CB Scheme (Scheme of the IECEE for Recognition of Results of Testing to Standards for Safety of Electrical Equipment). CB certificates issued by JET are valid in all countries that are members of the CB scheme. CB certificates that JET issues and recognizes are shown as "IECEE-web site".       JET is accredited by the Japan Accreditation Board for Conformity Assessment (JAB) to perform ISO 9001 quality management system and ISO 14001 environmental management system assessment and registrations. JET is also accredited by Raad Vooraccreditatie (RvA) for ISO 14001. For more information, contact the ISO Registration Center.

Testing by request b. EMC testing c. Measurement of room air conditioner capacity (heat quantity)       In cooperation with the activities of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), JET dispatches engineers to overseas institutions and accepts overseas engineers with the objective of providing training in testing technology and testing laboratory operation, particularly for certification and testing institutions of ASEAN countries.       JET receives a range of requests from government agencies including requests to conduct tests on electrical products purchased in the market, to harmonize domestic standards with IEC standards, and to conduct research and development on technologies for assessing solar power electric generation systems.       JET is accredited by the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) as a testing laboratory in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 under the Testing laboratory accreditation scheme specified in the Industrial Standardization Law.
