JCII.

The Japan Camera Industry Institute; formerly the Japan Camera Inspection Institute. The JCII was founded in 1954 with the charter of enforcing strict quality control for all Japanese camera products exported overseas.

The JCII was thus the organization responsible for testing all Japanese camera exports and applying the once-familiar oval gold PASSED - JCII sticker onto all equipment which passed. This practice of applying the gold stickers, which helped cement the Japanese camera industry’s reputation for quality, seems to have stopped at some point in the late 1980s.

cf. PASSED.
