Research And Investigation

Research on technical standards

In order to plan proper and rational inspections and to provide for newly developed fire prevention equipment, a standards research committee has been established to research and discuss technical standards, testing and inspection methods.

Response to new developments in technology

When a product is developed with new technology as fire prevention equipment that does not conform to technical standards but possesses superior performance, a Fire Protection Equipment Assessment Committee deliberates whether or not this equipment is at or above these standards.

Other types of study and research

JFEII carries out research on the effective period of use for fire prevention equipment, follow up surveys, research on test methods concerning new products, and also collects written materials from overseas.

Publication of research data

JFEII gathers inspection related data, surveys and research, as well as cases of accidents concerning fire prevention equipment, and other relevant information, and makes the information available through its published periodicals and Internet homepage.

International Cooperation

  • AFIC meetings

    To exchange information with testing agencies related to fire prevention in Asian countries, JFEII is also a member of the Asia Fire-protection Inspection Council (AFIC) that was established in 2005. JFEII participates in conferences organized by AFIC, including technical commissions, as part of efforts to fulfil its roles and responsibilities within Asia.

  • Hosting of foreign trainees and open access to JFEII facilities

    JFEII actively hosts foreign trainees and has hosted up to the present 60 trainees from 19 nations including China, South Korea and Taiwan. Additionally, as a way to make improvements in fire prevention technology more readily useful and to deepen understanding of the technology to a wide audience, JFEII facilities are generally open to the public.

  • Technological guidance for foreign countries

    JFEII has dispatched representatives to countries overseas including China, Korea, Taiwan and Bangladesh to undertake guidance concerning fire prevention technology.
