Acquisition of ISO 14001 certification
-
In February 1999, we acquired ISO 9001 certification, an international quality standard, and have strived to produce products that can be used with a sense of security.
However, it is also true that these production activities have a significant impact on the global environment. We therefore decided to make an effort to protect the global environment by acquiring ISO 14001 certification, an international environmental standard, and acquired it in November 2002.
