To be the world's best company that frequently develops innovative, high-performance, and quality products, Nichia is focused on strict quality assurance. Nichia is required to consistently supply quality products from LEDs and LD (Laser Diodes), to chemical materials sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment (e.g. phosphors, cathode materials, and magnetic materials). To ensure the safety and quality of its products for all customers around the world, Nichia established an integrated management system including testing, inspection, research, analysis, and information security.

Standard LED
Nichia's standard LEDs were designed and developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) as dedicated calibration standards for the photometric and radiometric quantities of LED products. These standard LEDs need to be calibrated using appropriate procedures in order to establish a traceability system from the national standards for the desired photometric and radiometric quantities. In response to requests from Nichia's customers, Nichia also provides JCSS accredited calibration services for standard LEDs.（Available in Japan only)
