5-4-2 EIAJ (Electronic Industries Association of<br />

Japan, currently Japan Electronics and<br />

Information Technology Industries<br />

Association)<br />

The creation of the Japan Electronics and Information<br />

Technology Industries Association (JEITA) in November<br />

2000 resulted from a merger of the Japan Electronic<br />

Industry Development Association and the Electronic<br />

Industries Association of Japan. Existing standards from<br />

the old organizations were transferred unchanged to the<br />

new organization. In other words, standards from the<br />

Electronic Industries Association of Japan, known as<br />

“EIAJ standards,” continue to exist and are still called<br />

“EIAJ standards.” Standards are issued for each<br />

individual environmental test. Table 10 presents some<br />

examples of EIAJ environmental testing standards.<br />

Table 10 EIAJ standards for environmental test<br />

methods<br />

No. Title<br />

CP-5102 Methods of measurement on receiving antennas<br />

for SHF satellite broadcast transmission<br />

(mechanical and environmental characteristics)<br />

ED-2531 Environmental test methods for Liquid Crystal<br />

Display devices<br />

ED-4701* Environmental and endurance test methods for<br />

semiconductor devices<br />

ED-8403 Environmental and endurance test methods for<br />

semiconductor pressure sensors (diffused<br />

piezoresistance type)<br />

ED-8503 Environmental and endurance test methods for<br />

mini-mold type hall sensors<br />

ET-7407* Environmental and endurance test methods for<br />

CSP/BGA package on mounting condition<br />

RC-8325 Testing methods for environmental test of audio<br />

magnetic heads<br />

* English versions have been issued for standards marked with<br />

an asterisk.<br />

5-4-3 JTM (Testing Machinery Association of Japan)<br />

The standards issued by the Testing Machinery<br />

Association of Japan differ from those we have been<br />

discussing up to this point. Rather than addressing<br />

environmental test methods, these standards are set for the<br />

test equipment. Tabai is a member of this association, and<br />

participates in issuing the standards. Table 11 presents<br />

some examples of JTM standards.<br />

No. Title<br />

JTM K-01:1998 Humidity chambers—Test and indication<br />

method for performance<br />

JTM K-02-1999 Standard for safety of humidity chambers<br />

JTM K-03-1992 Standard for performance of environmental<br />

temperature and humidity rooms<br />

JTM K-04:1992 Standard for safety of environmental<br />

temperature and humidity rooms<br />

JTM K-05:2000 High temperature chambers—Test and<br />

indication method for performance<br />

JTM K-06: 2001 Standard for safety of high temperature<br />

chambers<br />

Table 11 JTM standard<br />

This report has presented a brief overview of<br />

environmental testing standards to provide an aid to<br />

understanding the basics of those standards. While the<br />

examples given are typical, they cannot provide a<br />

thorough treatment of the subject. Please realize also that<br />

the test methods presented in the tables cannot cover<br />

every aspect.<br />

As has been noted, obtaining information about<br />

standards requires knowledge of trends in test technology,<br />

and so one must be vigilant in keeping up with the latest<br />

trends.<br />
