UL Verified Mark - You can promote the safety of light radiation.

Laser and LED technologies are applied in various fields such as information technology, healthcare, entertainment, and the automotive industry. With the increase in products, manufacturers are pressured to differentiate their products in the market. On the other hand, for consumers, the incorporation of lasers and LEDs into more familiar products has made safety assurance an important factor in product selection. In this era, UL's Verified Mark is the optimal program to appeal to buyers regarding the safety of laser/LED light emission levels in products. Why is verification necessary? The UL Verified Mark program for laser/LED products is a third-party verification service aimed at verifying the emission levels of lasers/LEDs at reliable testing laboratories and utilizing the results in your marketing activities. By using it alongside UL's well-recognized safety evaluation services in the United States, it alleviates concerns for users and retailers while promoting brand transparency in the market. Products that measure laser/LED emission levels are categorized into three groups under this unique UL program.

At Eihon Seiki, we handle Brookfield's rotational viscometers, which are widely used by many customers. We offer consulting services such as measurement method proposals and data analysis to assist our customers with viscometers and rheometers. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer service, we have planned a viscometer user seminar. We will invite Professor Toshiyuki Shikata, an emeritus professor at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, who is active in the field of rheology, to give a lecture covering the basics of viscosity and an introduction to viscoelasticity. There will also be opportunities to ask questions to Professor Shikata and our technical staff regarding any issues or uncertainties you may have in your daily work. We encourage you to consider participating in this opportunity. Seminar Overview: - We will provide an easy-to-understand lecture on the basics of viscosity and viscosity measurement. - We will explain points that can help improve the reproducibility of daily measurements and maintenance within your company. - We will introduce the dispersion of solutions and stability evaluation through live demonstrations. - You will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to Professor Shikata and Eihon Seiki's technical staff.
