Update from JEMCA's Certification Programm
"Certfied Environmental Measurer (CEM)"To assure social reliability regarding the field of environment measurement, JEMCA established a certification program named “Certified Environmental Measurer (CEM) on Chemical Analysis” in 2006. The program focuses on improving measurers’ knowledge and performance. Test for CEM on Chemical Analysis started in the same year. There is level 1 to 3.
In 2008, JEMCA started CEM on Noise & Vibration. There is Advance Level and Entry Level. The Entry-level test was first implemented on 2008 and the Advance-level was in 2011. |

Below are requirements on each level;
CEM on Chemical Analysis
Level 1 - Measurer who has advanced technical knowledge, performance and teaching skills of environmental measurement. (Written test, skills test and oral test are required.)
Level 2 - Measurer who has technical knowledge and performance of environmental measurement in each category shown in Table-1. (Written test, skills test and oral test over phone call are required.)
Level 3 - Measurer who has general knowledge of environmental measurement. (Written test, only.)
CEM on Noise & Vibration
Advanced Level - Measurer who has technical knowledge and performance of noise and vibration measurement. (Written test, skills test and oral test is required.)
Entry Level - Measurer who has general knowledge of noise and vibration measurement. (Written test, only.) |

Level 1 and 2 of CEM on Chemical Analysis have 4 different fields divided by target element and analytical method, and candidate passed in each field are rewarded certifications. Table 2 shows up-to-date numbers of Applicants, Candidates, Successful Candidates (SC) and Pass rate % (SC/Candidates) of the test. It is difficult to pass the Level 1 test without advanced knowledge and long work experience and so measurers who passed the test is fewer than 100 until now. Since number of certified measurer staffs reflects the laboratory ability, this certification has become to be used as indicator in choosing laboratories by customers.
