About
KEC, the Kansai Electronic Industry Development Center, is a general incorporated association based at Hikaridai in Seika, Kyoto Prefecture - in the Keihanna Science City research cluster between Kyoto, Osaka and Nara - and it occupies a position no other laboratory in this directory holds. Alongside running its own Keihanna Test Center, with an anechoic chamber complex including a newly built chamber block, it is an accredited proficiency testing provider: the Japan Accreditation Board accredits it to ISO/IEC 17043 under number PTP00060 for EMC emissions proficiency testing. That makes KEC the body other Japanese laboratories use to demonstrate measurement competence for their own ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Its FY2026 schemes cover radiated emissions from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz, radiated emissions from 6 GHz to 18 GHz, magnetic field radiated emission by the loop antenna method below 30 MHz, CISPR 25 radiated emissions by the ALSE method to 1000 MHz, CISPR 25 conducted emissions by both voltage and current methods, and cable insertion loss evaluation outside the accredited scope. Results are evaluated with robust statistics under ISO 13528 using z-scores, participants are identified only by laboratory code, and no corrective action or re-test is required - the scheme is diagnostic rather than punitive. Its own testing covers consumer, industrial, medical and radio equipment, radio characteristic measurement, vehicle-mounted equipment, military and aircraft equipment, shield material testing, anechoic chamber characterisation by NSA and SVSWR, and environmental and reliability testing. Product safety work includes PSE conformity confirmation, S-Mark certification testing, structural pre-check and CE marking assessment. KEC also administers the iNARTE certification examinations in Japan - iNARTE-EMC, iNARTE-PS and EMC design engineer - and publishes translated standards and an EMC and product safety database. Specialisations are ISO/IEC 17043 EMC proficiency testing, chamber validation by NSA and SVSWR, shield material measurement, and engineer certification.
