The products and their specifications that we describe on this site may be modified or become unavailable due to changes in their specifications or manufacturing locations, end of order receiving, or suspension of their manufacture. If you wish to discuss the mass production of those products or plan to order them, please contact our sales representatives to confirm that the information you see on this site is the latest version.
We are doing our best to constantly improve the quality and reliability of our products. However, some electric items/components do in fact fail despite our efforts. The durability of products also varies depending on service environments and conditions. Please check your product under actual service conditions before use. If you continue to use a product in a poor condition, items with deteriorated insulation performance may generate abnormal heat or smoke or even ignite. The product's failure or end of service life may cause accidents involving risks to human health, fire, or danger to the public at large. We advise you to apply safety measures and regular maintenance work, such as the use of redundant design, fireproofing, and malfunction-preventing design, to rule out such accidents.
We classify product quality levels by product applications into "standard level," "special level" and "specific level." For products in the "specific level" category, we offer quality assurance programs that are specified by our customers. Each quality level is defined for products for use in specific applications as listed below.
Standard level | : |
computers, OA equipment, communication equipment, AV equipment, household appliances, machine tools, personal equipment, industrial robots |
---|---|---|
Special level | : |
transportation equipment (cars, trains, ships, etc.), traffic light apparatuses, security/fire-prevention devices, power equipment, safety devices, medical instruments not used in life-support systems |
Specific level | : | aviation instruments, aerospace instruments, atomic power control systems, life-support systems/medical instruments |
