About Kyoritsu

Since its founding in 1940, Kyoritsu has made customer satisfaction and providing high quality products and services our top priorities. Our emphasis on customer support has helped us to build strong and lasting customer and distributor relationships that continue today.
State of the art electrical measurement technology products are the backbone of our company's business. Our wide line of testers has contributed to technological developments and industrial infrastructures worldwide.

In the future companies will be faced with significant changes and will need to be adaptable to the requirements brought about by new technologies. Also, we recognize the importance of being responsible with regard to global-environmental issues that affect all of us. It is our sincere hope, to not only sustain our business development but also look to the future for next generation. For that reason Kyoritsu pledges to embrace technologies and manufacturing processes that will contribute to environmental solutions.

Quality Control Concept

Kyoritsu started early an effort to establish system that ensures traceability to the national standards in order to produce reliable instruments as well as instruments that can assure reliability of other equipment and installations.

When traceability is in place, measurements taken with an instrument any time and anywhere in any situation can be related to the appropriate national measurement standards through a clear and unbroken chain of comparisons.

For example, in terms on measurement defined by JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), traceability is specified as a condition in which a calibration path is established from instruments produced or in-house standards to higher level standards to the national standards. Kyoritsu currently has a system in place as shown in the figure below.

Our calibrator (standard) is calibrated at Japan Electric Meters Inspection Corporation (JEMIC), Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA) and Fluke Japan who perform calibration based on the units established and maintained by National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The standard is used as the in-house standard to calibrate all the test and measuring equipments which are used in-house.

Voltage :
Precision calibrators are used as in-house DC and AC voltage standards.
Current :
DC or AC current is converted to a voltage by a standard resistor, and the voltage is calibrated with a precision digital multimeter.
Resistance :
Calibration resisters are calibrated with a DC standard current generator and the precision digital multimeter.
