Business stationery (cover) used by the company JCII – JAPAN CAMERA and OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS INSPECTION and TESTING INSTITUTE in Tokyo (Japan) – its role is to assure the quality of Japanese cameras and optical instruments.
JCII is an independent organization established to ensure the quality of Japanese cameras and optical instruments to be exported from Japan. On behalf of the Japanese Government, JCII does not allow the export of these products unless they have passed the JCII's export inspection, which is carried out in two stages: the type test and lot inspection. The former is related mainly to reliability and durability; the latter, the individual product's performance. Special mention is made of the research and development work conducted in order to improve the quality of products.
