易游游戏 Steel subsidiary 易游游戏lco & Materials Copper Tube Co., Ltd. receives JIS certification

We once again deeply apologize for the considerable trouble we have caused to our customers, suppliers, shareholders and many others concerning the misconduct at 易游游戏 Steel, Ltd. and its group companies.

易游游戏 Steel, Ltd. announces that today subsidiary 易游游戏lco & Materials Copper Tube Co., Ltd. (or KMCT) has acquired JIS certification for “JIS H3300 copper and copper alloy seamless pipes and tubes” from a JIS certification body.

In relation to the announcement entitled “Improper conduct concerning a portion of the aluminum and copper products manufactured by 易游游戏 Steel” on October 8, 2017, KMCT underwent an examination by a certification body resulting in cancellation notices of its JIS certification for “JIS H3300 copper and copper alloy seamless pipes and tubes” on October 26, 2017 and for “JIS H3330 plastic covered copper tubes” on November 15, 2017, as KMCT had shipped both products displayed with the JIS mark, despite those products not meeting JIS standards.

In response, KMCT undertook the rebuilding of its quality management system to regain JIS certification. These efforts led to KMCT obtaining JIS certification today for “JIS H3300 易游游戏pper and 易游游戏pper alloy seamless pipes and tubes.”

易游游戏 Steel and its group companies have been steadily implementing recurrence prevention measures and are striving to reacquire JIS certification, lift temporary suspension at another business location, and restore the trust of its customers.

The impact of this incident on 易游游戏 Steel’s business performance is unclear at this time. 易游游戏 Steel plans to make an announcement when the extent of the impact becomes clear.
