| Japan Internal Combustion Engine Federation (JICEF) |
JICEF, Japan Internal Combustion Engine Federation, is the Secretariat
of Japanese National Committee (JNC) for CIMAC, International Council on
Combustion Engines, and also the Secretariat of JICESC, Japan Internal
Combustion Engine Standard Committee for ISO, which consists of JNCs for
ISO/TC70 (Technical Committee on Internal Combustion Engines in ISO (International
Organization for Standardization) and ISO/TC192 (Technical Committee on
Gas Turbines in ISO).
JICEF was founded by the funds from the first 13 member bodies in 1954,
when the purpose of this organization was to establish Japanese National
Member Association for participation in CIMAC and then to set up the Secretariat
of NMA for CIMAC. The first member bodies consisted of the Association
Groups for engine manufacturers and engine users as well as key engineering
societies.
Thereafter, JICEF has been expanded to have 61 member bodies in 2008, which
consists of 17 Association Group members for manufacturers and users, including
engineering societies, and 44 manufacturer and user members for engines,
parts and equipments, and by the funds of these member bodies, JICEF is
operated.
History and Outline of JICEF
1. JNC for CIMAC (i.e. Japanese NMA)
Principal Activities of JICEF
JICEF sends CIMAC Executive Board member and Japanese CIMAC Council Members
to each of Board Meetings and Council Meetings, and always supports activities
of CIMAC.
On CIMAC Congresses, in the 3rd CIMAC Congress in The Hague 1955, Japanese
members presented their first papers, and then successively in every CIMAC
Congress up to the most recent 24th CIMAC Congress in Kyoto 2004, Japanese
members presented many papers and were appreciated their presentations.
For activities of CIMAC Working Groups, JICEF sends always actively Japanese
experts to each meeting of Working Groups, and also, in Japan, has our
own Japanese National Working Groups corresponding to each CIMAC WG.
2. JICESC for ISO
For the purposes of drafting and reviewing of ISO standards and sending
experts to ISO meetings on internal combustion engines, JICESC has been
established permanently in JICEF, in which JNC for ISO/TC70 and JNC for
ISO/TC192 are organized, and also, as necessary, National Committees for
Drafting JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) on internal combustion engines
are set up.
In 1969, at the same time of reorganization in ISO/TC70, Japan participated
in the new ISO/TC70 as a P- Member and JICEF has become the Secretariat
of JNC for ISO/TC70 on reciprocating internal combustion engines and gas
turbines, under guidance of METI, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry,
that is the Secretariat of Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC)
for ISO as well as JIS.
Thereafter, in 1988, ISO/TC192 on gas turbines was separated from ISO/TC70
and became an independent Technical Committee in ISO, and then JNC for
ISO/TC192 was newly established in JICESC.
JNCs for ISO/TC70 and ISO/TC192 consist of members in manufacturers and
users and neutral experts, and are very active for investigations and reviews
of Technical matters submitted by each of Technical Committees as well
as their Sub-Committees and Working Groups.
In addition, JICEF also becomes the Secretariat of National Committees
for Drafting JIS, corresponding to ISO on reciprocating internal combustion
engines and gas turbines, as such projects are required.
3. Publicity of information on internal combustion engines
For publicity of information on internal combustion engines to the members and others, JICEF is publishing "information of the JICEF, as JICEF Bulletin in Japanese, two or three times a year, and has the JICEF Seminar, usually within one day, two or three times a year, in which wide range of matters from management to engineering matters are discussed between manufacturers, between users, and between users, and between manufacturers and users, including neutral experts.
JICEF shall keep perform very active and important roles for communications,
co-ordination of opinions for common interests, promotion of mutual friendship
etc. among manufacturers, users and neutral experts on reciprocating internal
combustion engines and gas turbines.
