Certificate Institution
The worldwide institutions have proven the efficacy of Plasmacluster ions.
Test institutions in Japan and in countries around the world,such as the U.S., Germany, the U.K., and China, have proven the efficacy of Plasmacluster ions. In addition to in-house tests, we have numerous third-party experts in different fields of specialization conduct tests to demonstrate efficacy. This helps boost the reliability of Sharp Plasmacluster products.
