What is the reason for the confusion about whom to ask for measurements at the painting site? October's legal amendments.
On October 1, 2026, regulations for the prevention of organic solvent poisoning will be revised. We will organize what changes will occur in personal exposure measurements at painting sites from a practical perspective.
Is it acceptable to ask the same contractor as before to conduct measurements at the painting facility? This confirmation will be necessary starting in October. On October 1, 2026, amendments to the Organic Solvent Poisoning Prevention Regulations and others will be enforced. ────────────── ■Cause of Occurrence In painting facilities, organic solvents such as thinners are used, making it mandatory to manage the working environment. The recent amendments have established requirements for those conducting personal exposure measurements. ■Truth At each stage of measurement design, sample collection, and analysis, it is necessary for individuals to meet requirements such as completing training. This applies not only to the Organic Solvent Regulations but also to the Special Regulations, Lead Regulations, and Dust Regulations. ■Improvement Measures First, confirm how measurements are conducted within your company. Also, verify by October whether the contracted measurement company meets the requirements. Reviewing the amount of paint used and ventilation will also be effective if done concurrently. Eiwa Kogei, as a specialized factory for metal baking paint, is available for painting consultations. Please download and utilize the materials summarizing the key points for process confirmation.

We are not just a "subcontracted painting factory." Established in 1958, our company has a foundation of painting technology and also specializes in chemical treatment, stripping, and cleaning, functioning as the "external surface treatment department" in your organizational chart. Based on our philosophy of "preparation is eight-tenths of the work," we emphasize participation from the "upstream process" before the drawings are finalized. We conduct test painting on a wide range of metals and difficult materials, and we produce the entire process from assembly, packaging, to delivery, thereby reducing your management workload. Additionally, by being able to perform zinc phosphate treatment in-house, we achieve stable painting quality. Furthermore, our micro-heating stripping technology, which does not use chemicals, maintains the electrical state of the "jigs (hangers)" that influence painting quality. Our approach of "pre-treatment determines painting quality" ensures the stability of the paint film during mass production. Rather than simply "applying specified standards," we work backwards to achieve optimal painting specifications and prevent scratches during transportation, sparing no effort in thorough discussions from the outset. This diligent preparation is the shortest path to preventing rework and minimizing total costs. From the development stage, please utilize the expertise of our specialists as part of your production line.
