[Industry]
Service industry (research, explanation, documentation, application and registration, analytical testing, etc., associated with foreign environmental regulations)

[Representative's message]
Foreign regulations and standards cause concern about differences in national characteristics, culture, and language. We have a global organization, people and knowledge, and provide services that solve these problems. Please feel free to consult us. We offer free quotations.



[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
Environmental regulations concerning goods are now spreading globally, triggered by the EU’s regulations on electric and electronic equipment and chemicals (RoHS Directives) and regulations on waste equipment (WEEE Directives).
It is increasingly important to properly understand the latest trends, particularly in recent years because regulations are reviewed very frequently.

We provide research and explanations on environmental regulations concerning goods around the world, not only in the EU and North America but also Southeast Asia, China, South America, etc.
Also, we have a system for offering a one-stop service to help customers enter overseas markets in cooperation with a certificate-issuing body, UL Japan.
