We develop welfare-related product, data collection and evaluation method for sensory profiles about vision , hearing and others for the elderly and the disabled. Concerning welfare tools We develop data collection and evaluation method for welfare tools involving nursing care insurance system. [example of working theme] Development of the engineering safety assessment method of a level difference dissolution slope Standardization of visibility, such as a block for visually impaired person guidance Engineering safety assessment of a home stair lift Concerning welfare tools Others In addition, we develop techniques for measurement and evaluation which consider the elderly and the disabled. [example of working theme] Standardization of the technical information for elderly people and disabled person consideration specification decision Standardization of an effective field of view and a visibility assessment method Development of technology assessment techniques of bioaffinity implant materials. We not only conduct evaluation of cause analysis of product accidents but also promote standardization which is useful for life support including life related products to contribute to arrange the safer and more reliable living environment. Customer Protection We arrange data including information on product accidents for consumer’s lives and promote standardization of data collection and evaluation method which is useful for utilization into the development of safe products in manufacturers, and directing attention for users and consumers. [example of working theme] Standardization of analytic method for causative agent of allergic dermatitis by dye in textile goods A ignition test method for plastic For Customer Protection Fracture Database of Plastic We disclose the appearance of cross section (fracture cross section)and the intensity on destruction of macromolecule material including plastic as a database. In addition, we proceed with standardization of test method evaluating the characteristics and way of destruction (configuration of destruction) for materials. Database of Allergic contact dermatitis Considering that techniques for cause investigation concerning the occurrence of skin disorder accidents by processing agent in textile goods have not been established, we establish qualitative and quantitative method for processing agent and disclose data base of causative agents for skin disorder. Combustion and Ignition Database We disclose technique for cause investigation of accident and data for ignition and combustion accidents in the field of home electric products, such as much power supply cords or elongation codes, which occur most frequently in product accidents. Environmental Preservation We promote standardization of basic data collection contributing to environmental conversion and measurement method for reliable chemical materials. [example of working theme] Standardization of measurement method of evaporation of VOC and others from electronic apparatus by chamber method For Environmental Preservation We promote the standardization which is useful for advancement of society foundation through intellectual creative activities including data on measurement of human characteristic, biological genetic resource information, information on overall management of chemical materials, information on product accident and compatibility evaluation. Concerning human characteristic We provide data on physical characteristics including human range of motion, exerting ability and operating ability as applicable data in the development and design of more comfortable and easy to use welfare tools and products in daily use. 　 In addition, we provide results of investigation and study for measurement method of human characteristics to acquire these data. [example of working theme] Data collection of basic dynamic characteristics for the elderly and others Development of measurement technique for basic dynamic property Concerning human characteristic Human Charactersitics Database Human basic characteristics data for body size, physical fitness, range of voluntary motion of the joints, passive counteraction of joints, maximum strength, and the functional power of the upper limbs are disclosed (about 900 examinees: as of 2003 April. Target is 20 - 80s.). Statistical values such as average or standard deviation can be outputted with these data. The original data can also be downloaded.

Implementation of international standard which does not hinder trade in the midst of international distribution and allows us to use products, made from any place, reliably, and we positively participate in international standardization activities including ISO (international organization of standardization) and IEC (international electrotechnical commission ).
