QUALITY CONTROL
Product Quality Management
Product quality is our largest asset and our absolute promise.
The history of Utsunomiya Seisaku that started with the sale of medical-use products has been all about product quality management.
Our product quality management techniques fostered throughout this history has been applied to all the market sectors we are involved in today, including medicine, nursing, food, home and living, and manufacturing. Our high-quality is a large pillar that supports Utsunomiya Seisaku's brand value.

Based on our ideal of "continuously protecting humans and the environment by striving for safety and cleanliness", we provide products and services that will satisfy our customers.
Product Quality Goals
- Do our best in improving product quality in order to satisfy our customers.
- Advance each of our employees' awareness and actions.
- Always consider safety, hygiene, and the environment.

Utsunomiya Seisaku's largest assets are the product quality management techniques and knowledge that we have continued to build up with the goal to continuously provide products for the sake of humans and the environment.
Our strict examination system that we have created with steady efforts over the years is applied to all of Utsunomiya Seisaku's products and assures our product quality.
In order to create a safe workplace and lifestyle environment by observing our own established quality management goals, we are continuing to provide products that anyone can use worry-free.
On our ISO certification and self-standards BECIQ
Our whole company became certified in ISO14001 (environmental management) in 2004 and in ISO9001 (product quality management) in 2005. As we felt that environmental engagement is also part of product quality efforts, in 2015, we started to apply ISO9001 in a developmental integrative way that incorporated the contents of ISO14001. In 2017, we established our own self-standards called BECIQ that was based on the ideas of both BCM (business continuity management) and ISMS (information security management). Furthermore, in order to strengthen our promise on the safety and quality of medical equipment, we newly acquired ISO13485:2016 (medical equipment quality management) certification.

Aging inspection
In this test, we twist a sample and apply heat to cause aging.
