Endeavors to Ensure Safety and Security

Quality Control

Quality of Materials and Parts

We scrutinize the quality of all metals, fabrics and resin materials to secure high quality and minimize the environment impact.

Acceptance testing

At the stage of purchasing materials, we conduct stringent testing to reject non-standard materials or others that do not conform to specifications.

History management

From acceptance and assembly through to shipment, we perform lot management of materials and parts.

Stability Test

We regularly conduct running durability tests and wheelchair drop tests using in-house test equipment that complies with the JIS standard (JIST9201:2016) or at a third-party testing organization. This ensures that we maintain and improve the safety and durability of our products.

For those types of wheelchairs that the JIS standard does not cover, we conduct a safety testing according to our internal standards to confirm safety, and use the obtained results daily to review specifications and develop new products.
