　In Pakistan, the challenge is to build a mechanism to disseminate energy efficient products.
Aim to spread more energy efficient products through introducing the minimum energy efficiency standard (MEPS) and the creation of energy efficiency labeling system (Star rating) for air conditioners and refrigerators.
　By introducing our efforts, we will provide an opportunity to build a system based on the energy conservation laws of Pakistan.
As part of this project, 15 people from Pakistan, including Ministry of Energy employees, federal government employees, managers of testing laboratories, visited JATL on 19th November.

　JATL introduced itself as the first ISO/IEC 17025 accredited air conditioning equipment performance test laboratory in Japan, and had a tour of the test facilities, and a lively question and answer session was held. JATL also explained the need for laboratories that operate with reliable technology for the spread of energy-saving air conditioners.

　In Brazil, where about 70% of electricity demand is dependent on hydroelectric power generation, electricity costs are rising due to drought and power outages occur. The efforts to save energy are urgently needed.

　This project was commissioned by a major air conditioner manufacturer from JICA, based on actual test data of environment-friendly and energy-saving air conditioners, made proposals for energy saving and greenhouse gas suppression, and promoted understanding of high-efficiency inverter air-conditioning technology.

　As part of this project, 15 people including, Brazilian Ministry of Mineral Energy (MME), executives of related ministries, professors / doctors at universities visited JATL on 2nd October.

　JATL introduced itself and had a tour of the test facilities, and a lively question and answer session was held. JATL also explained the need for laboratories that operate with reliable technology for the spread of energy-saving air conditioners.

JATL had the 9th surveillance audit based on the JAB (Japan Conformity Assessment Association) revised 2018, and passed it. (June)

The scope to be covered room air conditioners, package air conditioners and heat- pump water heaters (eco cute).

June 2019

The executives of TERTEC visited JATL.
JATL introduced our testing facilities, including new Balanced ambient room-type calorimeter, and exchanged the information of recent performance testing business in both countries.

TERTEC was established as a non-profit professional institute for research, testing and technology services in 1979, under the endowment and auspices of the Taiwan Power Company and thirteen other electric equipment manufacturers.
For more than 40 years, TERTEC have earned the reputation of independence, impartiality and professionalism in TAIWAN.

May 2019

Thank you for always visiting our website.
We have completely renewed our website, the main points of renewal are as follows.

• Improving the sense of unity in design by changing the color scheme While cherishing the colors of the blue system, which is the image color of the JATL logo, it can be viewed simply and has improved to a friendly color scheme.
• Easy to browse, and compatible with various devices We have changed the layout and design to improve the visibility and browse. In addition, we consider multi-device browsing that can be viewed without stress both in PC and in mobile, including smartphone and tablet.

We will continue to improve the content and aim to provide better websites.
We hope that we can further understand our laboratory through this site.

March 2019

JATL’s technicians decide the research theme related the performance test, and they conduct a verification test. And they present their research results internally once per year. On March 15,2019, three technicians presented their research results based on the results of tests.
Their theme is as bellow,

• Analysis of a fine difference of the results in two testing laboratories
• About the measurement of the heat-leakage coefficient of the testing laboratory
• Analysis of the influence of filling refrigerant quantity on the performance for the refrigerator

The presentations were held for 30 minutes each, with 10 minutes of Q & A, and lively discussions were held.

January 2019

Requested by AOTS (Overseas Industrial Human Resources Development Association), continuing from last September The lecture was given to 19 people in eight ASEAN countries.

Among the participants, there were some questions, especially the verification system of JRAIA (Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association), such as market purchasing tests, test facility certifications, and certification seals, were explained.

January, March 2019

JATL visited the Thai National Laboratory EEI (Electrical and Electronics Institute), and exchanged views on the accuracy improvement and inverter test standard (ISO16358) for performance test.

November 2018

The 56th National Skills Competition was held from November 2 to 5, 2018 in Okinawa Prefecture where JATL employees served as match officials (referees) for contests in the refrigeration technology category.

※The National Skills Competition is a tournament held annually where young engineers compete to demonstrate who has the best skills in Japan and to learn about the importance of developing engineers capable of supporting Japan’s future and the value of “craftsmanship.”

October 2018

Training was held for performance test technicians on the use of the Balanced Ambient Room-Type Calorimeter (RAC2) testing equipment.
