Traceability
KYOWA Standard Apparatus Calibration Section is registered as Accredited Calibration Laboratories by JCSS (Japan Calibration Service System)
and Accredited Conformity Assessment Bodies by ASNITE (Accreditation System of National Institute of Technology and Evaluation).
Traceability System provided by Measurement Law
The traceability system consists of the national standards provision system and the calibration laboratory accreditation system introduced by the amended Measurement Law enforced in Japan in November, 1993. The traceability system was established aiming at highly accurate measurement and quality management reliability in leading-edge industries and other industries.
Along with recent globalization of economic activities, traceability of measurement is getting more important as the technological basis of compatibility evaluation procedure in economic transaction between countries.
JCSS (Japan Calibration Service System) plays an extremely important role to support reliability of test and calibration results from the basis that is backed by traceability to national weighing standards and the technological capabilities of accredited laboratories.
JCSS is a program certifying that calibration laboratories have technical capabilities based on the measurement law and requirements on ISO/IEC 17025 and registering them by the name of the chief director of National Institute of Technology and Evaluation.
JCSS and ASNITE Accreditation
Kyowa Standard Apparatus Calibration Section is registered as a certification body under the Measurement Act Calibration Provider Accreditation System (JCSS) in the "Category: Electricity (direct current / low frequency), time/frequency, and rotation speed, force, and vibration acceleration", and by the Accreditation System of the National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (ASNITE) in the "Category: Acceleration".
JCSS-certifiedASNITE-certifiedGeneral Calibration
For general calibrations other than JCSS- and ASNITE-certified calibrations, we can provide calibration certificates (primary standards, measuring instruments for work), traceability system charts, primary standard device results report, measuring instruments for work results report, and inspection results report upon request, for a fee.
Calibration ServiceCommitment to Fairness
Our Standard Instruments Office carries out calibration work, evaluation of measurement uncertainty, and issuance of calibration certificates from an independent and impartial standpoint.
