Through a number of committees comprising its members, the Institute of Electrical Installation Engineers of Japan is engaged in research and survey,both on its own and commissioned by governmental or public authorities as well as private enterprises,on a variety of themes.This work is related to such areas of electrical installation engineering as electric power distribution systems used by power companies,electrical installations at power users,information transmission and communication equipment,and data processing technology.The institute is also involved in elaboration of relevant srandards and normative requirements for the industry.
Study and drafting of proposals for standardization of electrical installation
Based on our study of such national norms as JIS and the Japan Electrical Installation Engineering Standards as well as other international standards,we draw up proposals for their amendment or modification to be submitted to the respective authorities as required,contributing in this way to the effort for standardization of electrical installation and equipment.
Publication of journals,reports and books
The Institute publishes for sale its monthly organ "The Journal of the Institute of Electrical Installation Engineers of Japan",reports and guides emanating from the studies or research as mentioned above.
Sponsoring of symposia,conferences and seminars
We hold annual symposium for presentation and discussion of the results from research work carried out by our members on their own initiative.We also organize such events as conferences,seminars and visits to factories or other places of interest so as to enrich the knowledge of our membership on the subject.
Information exchange and cooperation with other national and international organization
We promote exchange with overseas organizations and societies similar to our own so as to share the effort for international cooperation our country is making as a part of being a member of the international community.In an attempt to contribute to such international cooperation,we are also making as much effort as possible to participate in international meetings of the IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission)by sending our members to learn and contribute.
Conferring of award
With an aim to promote both academic and technical knowledge in the area of electrical installation engineering,the Institute confers its awards to members who have distinguished themselves with outstanding achievements in the area.There are two types of awards;one academic and the other technical.
We also recognize those who have made a notable contribution to the progress of this discipline with the "Ikeda Prize" created in memory of late Mr.Ikeda,regardless of their nationality and whether or not they are our members.
