Some of the organs do not have corresponding inspection capability, and the "Label for Authentication on Acceptable Measurement" shown to consumers is not issued for examination of household environment. Organs without qualifications are not professional, and those with qualifications are not fit for inspection work of ordinary homes.

Consumers can know about characteristics of inspection organs in the following aspects: first, to check if there is the label of CMA on inspection report.
