On-site investigation (factory inspection) has been conducted since FY2001 on Type 1 Designated Energy Management Factories.

Starting from FY06, execution of random investigation is added to the current sector specified investigation.

Compliance with factory/business establishments standards is investigated to assess the need for guidance based on objectively set criteria.

Establishments that have an extremely poor level of energy use rationalization are instructed to prepare/submit a rationalization plan, implement the plan, and take other relevant steps after on-the-spot inspection has been conducted.
