Quality. Is at the Core of All Our Manufacturing.
Warehouse Storage Test
During distribution, products may
be subjected to extended
warehouse storage under
unfavourable conditions. To
simulate these conditions, we
place a weight equal to a stack of
five product packages on top of the
test package, and leave it in that
condition in a room at a
temperature of 27°C and a
humidity level of 85%. Then, the
product is checked for proper
operation.

Remote Control Drop Test
Because the remote control is the
main interface between people and
the air conditioner, it is naturally
subjected to frequent impacts -
such as drops and bumps - when it
is passed from person to person
during normal operation. Panasonic
drops the remote control from a
height of 1.5 metres at various
angles to ensure that no problems
in basic performance will result
from accidental dropping.

Eco Activities
Panasonic has set up eco ideas
factories around the globe. While
developing and manufacturing
energy-saving products based on
original environmental
technologies, these factories
reduce CO2 emissions from
manufacturing processes and
conduct regional-based
environmental communication
activities to contribute to both the
global environment and the local
communities that they serve.

Vibration Test
Preventing damage that would
hinder the product’s performance
due to vibration during transport is
a major role of the packaging.
Panasonic confirms that the
product operates properly even
after applying vibrations in both
horizontal and vertical directions.

EMC (Electromagnetic
Compatibility) Test
This test determines whether
electromagnetic waves emitted
during operation are sufficiently
low to prevent adverse effects, i.e.,
electrical noise, on signals such as
TV and radio broadcasts.

Sophisticated Production
Process
The air conditioner production line
uses advanced, state-of-the-art
factory automation technologies to
produce products with higher
reliability. Products are efficiently
manufactured with high and
uniform quality.

Amenity Test
An actual air conditioner is
operated in a test room that
simulates an ordinary living room.
Conditions such as the amount of
sunlight entering the room from
outside are changed while
measuring a variety of parameters,
such as cooling speed, cooling
efficiency, and temperature and
humidity differences throughout the
room. This makes it possible to
confirm whether the air conditioner
is operating at its designed
performance level under ordinary
conditions.

RoHS/REACH Compliant Parts
All parts and materials comply with
RoHS/REACH, Europe’s world-
leading environmental regulations.
Stringent inspections of more than
100 materials are conducted to
ensure that no hazardous
substances are included during
parts development.

Drop Test
Even with the large impacts that may occur due to improper handling during
transportation, the product packaging has been strengthened to prevent it
from being damaged. In addition to conventional vertical dropping, more
severe conditions in which the sides or corners hit the floor first are carefully
tested to ensure that the product’s rigidity and shock-absorbing materials
work to prevent problems.

Noise Test
The operating noise of the indoor
and outdoor units is measured in
an echo-free chamber. The noise
test verifies that the operating
noise is low enough so that the
product operation will not disturb
daily activities including
conversations and sleep.

Reliable Parts with Major
Standards Approval
Panasonic air conditioners comply
with all of the major standards that
maintain high reliability in the
countries and regions where they
are marketed. To ensure this, we
conduct a variety of tests to
examine the quality of materials
used in parts.

Shock Resistance
Panasonic simulates impacts, vibrations and other
environmental conditions that air conditioners might be
subjected to during transport. We promise that the quality
and performance at the time of the final product inspection
are unchanged when the product reaches the user’s home.

Comfort
Air conditioners should keep each person in the room
comfortable without making their presence known.
They should work totally in the background, using their
strength to create and maintain a comfortable environment.
We build this hidden strength into our air conditioners, and
test them repeatedly from this viewpoint.

World Standard Quality
Over the years, Panasonic air conditioners have continued to
offer the highest possible quality with the lowest
environmental impact worldwide. Naturally, the fundamental
production principles that are common to all Panasonic
products apply to air conditioners as well. The fact that these
principles actively support every product, rather than simply
serving as slogans, is the result of the endless repetition of
challenges and trial-and-error efforts that are conducted at
our production bases all over the world.
