We are the first Japanese connector manufacturer to obtain ISO/IEC 17025 certification, an international certification system for testing and calibration laboratories (2004: Ichinoseki Testing Center, new building constructed in 2018). "ISO/IEC 17025" is a standard that certifies a laboratory's ability to produce accurate measurement results. Many countries around the world use "ISO/IEC 17025" as a standard for judging a laboratory's technical capabilities.

In addition, we opened the EMC laboratory (anechoic chamber and shielded rooms) and obtained "ISO/IEC 17025" certification (in 2018, at the headquarters of Hirose Electric Corporation). In the test, we use a correlation technology that makes the process of "Design, analysis and measurement" interrelated (actual measurement results can be predicted from analytical results). Our company has put in place a system in which these "Design, analysis and measurement" can be consolidated at a single site in order to simultaneously improve product quality and shorten development lead times.
