PHASE 3 July, 2024 - December, 2026 (Ongoing)
Trainer's capacity building program for safety, EMC and energy efficiency conformity assessment of multimedia equipment
Background of Project Activities
As the implementing agency, JBMIA has twice utilized the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) to promote workshop programs on conformity assessment technologies such as Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and Electrical Safety for information technology and multimedia equipment for national testing laboratories in ASEAN member countries. Through these activities, the
capabilities of EMC and safety conformity assessment engineers at ASEAN national testing laboratories have been enhanced to a certain degree. However, to further improve the laboratories‘
technical capabilities and achieve self-reliance, they proposed a new project aimed at enhancing the trainers’ capabilities. JBMIA established an ASEAN Collaborative Project Committee under its
organization to fully support this proposal and once again responded to the request from ASEAN national testing laboratories as the implementing agency.

Place |
Surabaya Center for Standardization and Industrial Services (BSPJI, Surabaya), Indonesia |
|
Purpose |
Increased technical knowledge by Energy Efficiency workshop: Acquisition of knowledge about the technology and measurement environment necessary for conformity assessment through Energy Efficiency workshop |
|
Workshop Lecture Content |
To share fundamental knowledge on energy efficiency (energy conservation) in electrical and electronic equipment, we conducted the following lectures: a. Major environmental regulations related to energy conservation. b. Environmental labels of energy efficiency for each country. c. Basic knowledge of electric power
Additionally, lectures on standards—including international standards crucial for multimedia equipment evaluation—were held: d. IEC62301 standard e. European ErP Directive (Lot 4, 6, 26) f. ENERGY STAR (TEC/OM) Also, participants introduced the energy efficiency initiatives undertaken by the countries to which the participating laboratories belong and by the individual laboratories themselves. Furthermore, we conducted a lecture for measurement uncertainty and using an actual Multi-functional Peripheral (MFP) on several key methods for energy efficiency measurement. |
|
Results |
Through active discussions during lectures and practical sessions, participants' knowledge significantly improved. We evaluated participant satisfaction and knowledge improvement levels through a two-day workshop. Satisfaction was assessed by compiling questionnaire results for each program, while knowledge improvement was determined using comprehension tests administered before and after the workshop. ・Workshop satisfaction level: 92% (KPI 80%) ・Knowledge improvement level: 78% (KPI 30%) |
