National Composite Center -NCC is the center for R&D, experimental studies and evaluation for composite material structural technology, first of its kind in Japan. It maintains a network with other composite R&D centers throughout Japan. -At NCC, R&D of large number of forming technologies and evaluation and standardization of lightening, fire and flame resistance tests are taken place with the cooperation of industries, academia and government. -NCC makes it possible to make a mockup and to evaluate a life-size large-scale member forming that was conventionally done overseas only (Germany and France, etc.). In addition, it studies lightning, fire and flame resistance tests as a package, which cannot be seen at any corner of the world. It is expected that NCC will contributes to Japan’s standardization strategy for composite material evaluation technology.
