Understanding NETIS-Registered Equipment: System Overview, Benefits, and Our Product Line
When looking for new technologies to solve challenges on construction sites, a highly useful resource is the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s NETIS (New Technology Information System).
In this article, we will break down how NETIS works, the business advantages of using registered equipment, how to read NETIS registration numbers, and a list of NETIS-registered products available in our inventory.
★ Key Takeaways ★
- NETIS is an information database for new technologies; it is not a formal certification system.
- Registration numbers allow you to identify the registering regional bureau, the fiscal year of registration, and the technology's evaluation status (evaluated vs. unevaluated).
- When pitching a technology, the key to success is pairing the site’s specific challenges directly with the expected benefits of the equipment.

What is NETIS?
NETIS stands for the "New Technology Information System." Operated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, it is a comprehensive database used to share and provide vital details—such as system overviews and application ranges—regarding cutting-edge technologies utilized in public works and civil engineering projects.
A crucial point to understand is that NETIS is not an official technology certification system. The data hosted on NETIS serves strictly as a reference for evaluating new technologies; registration does not guarantee the approval or performance of a product. Consequently, whether a technology is ultimately adopted depends entirely on the specific conditions of the construction site, the scope of work, and the final judgment of the project owner.
The Advantages of Utilizing NETIS-Registered Equipment
The true strength of technologies featured on NETIS does not stem merely from the fact that they are "registered." Rather, it lies in how clearly their technical overviews and expected benefits are organized, making them exceptionally easy to use in project proposals and client presentations.
| On-site Challenges | Expected Benefits | Key Pitching Points for Proposals |
|---|---|---|
| Labor shortages & lean crewing | Remote verification, monitoring, and reduced physical transport burdens | Focus on which specific physical workloads can be eliminated. |
| Safety measures | Heat safety management, hazard monitoring, and fall prevention | Focus on how the technology directly minimizes accident and disaster risks. |
| Shorter timelines | Streamlined installation/removal and reduced processing steps | Focus on what efficiencies are gained compared to conventional methods. |
| Comprehensive documentation | Makes technical details and registration data easier to organize | Easy to use as supporting material when explaining to clients and general contractors. |
A standout feature of these resources is their versatility: they not only help us present solutions to our clients, but they also serve as excellent reference material when our clients need to explain things to project owners or general contractors.
Understanding NETIS Registration IDs
A NETIS registration ID consists of four components. The combination of letters and numbers acts like an identity code, revealing exactly where, when, and with what evaluation status the technology was logged.
■ Structure of the registration ID
For example, let's take a look at the registration number KT-240046-VE, which belongs to the "Kaokara" Heat Safety AI Camera carried by our company.
| Position | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Leading alphabetical characters | KT | Code for the registered Regional Development Bureau |
| Number (first two digits) | 24 | Registration year (last 2 digits of the Western calendar year) |
| Number (last 4 digits) | 0046 | Registration tracking number |
| Trailing alphabetical characters | VE | Information classification symbol (Evaluation category) |
■ Meaning of the leading alphabetical characters (Registered Regional Development Bureau)
The first two letters indicate the specific Regional Development Bureau (or equivalent government office) where the technology was registered.
- HK: Hokkaido Development Bureau
- TH: Tohoku Regional Development Bureau
- KT: Kanto Regional Development Bureau
- HR: Hokuriku Regional Development Bureau
- CB: Chubu Regional Development Bureau
- KK: Kinki Regional Development Bureau
- CG: Chugoku Regional Development Bureau
- SK: Shikoku Regional Development Bureau
- QS: Kyushu Regional Development Bureau
- OK: Okinawa General Bureau
If a third letter "K" is added to the prefix (e.g., KKK, KTK), it indicates that the technology has been registered specifically as a port and harbor technology.
■ Meaning of the middle number (Registration year + Reception number)
The numbers immediately following the first hyphen are split into two parts: the first two digits represent the registration year, and the last four digits represent the sequential application number.
- First 2 digits: The registration year (e.g., "24" indicates Fiscal Year 2024)
- Last 4 digits: Registration number in order of registration (e.g., "0046" indicates the 46th registration)
■ Meaning of the trailing alphabetical characters (Evaluation category)
The symbols at the very end indicate the current evaluation stage of the technology within the NETIS system.
- A: Registered technology that is currently unevaluated
- VE: Evaluated technology that requires no further monitoring
- VR: Evaluated technology subject to continued monitoring or follow-up studies
One point to note is that "unevaluated (A)" does not mean the technology is of inferior quality. Under the NETIS framework, a post-use evaluation is only conducted after a certain number of field-deployment track records (utilization effect surveys) have been accumulated. Therefore, newly registered cutting-edge technologies, or those whose field data is still being gathered, are placed in Category A. In short, "A" does not mean a product received a bad evaluation; it simply means it has not yet reached the evaluation stage.
As a reminder, NETIS itself is not a technology certification system, but rather a framework for providing reference data when evaluating new technologies.
It is best to understand A, VE, and VR not as rankings of a technology’s superiority, but as categories indicating its current position in the evaluation process.
Based on this framework, we can instantly understand that the "Kaokara" registration ID, KT-240046-VE, means: An evaluated technology requiring no further monitoring, registered as the 46th entry by the Kanto Regional Development Bureau in Fiscal Year 2024.
Key Checkpoints for Proposing NETIS-Registered Equipment
When pitching NETIS-featured technologies to clients, reviewing the following points—in addition to the registration number—will make your explanation easier.
| Checklist Item | Reason for Verification |
|---|---|
| Applicable work type & site conditions | To avoid proposing solutions that do not fit the actual job site |
| Expected benefits | To clearly explain improvements in labor savings, safety enhancement, or shortened timelines |
| Usage conditions & precautions | To confirm prerequisites in advance (such as power source, communication needs, and installation environments) |
| Service hub locations & inventory status | To confirm availability and lead times |
Instead of simply pitching, "We recommend this because it is a NETIS-registered product," the key to a successful proposal is structuring your argument around which specific on-site challenge the product addresses and what precise improvements can be expected.
