Consequently JIS Z 3212 : 1990 is replaced with JIS Z 8212 : 2000. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some parts of this Standard may conflict with a patent right, application for a patent after opening to the public, utility model right or application for registration of utility model after opening to the public which have technical properties. The relevant Minister and the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee are not responsible for identifying the patent right, application for a patent after opening to the public, utility model right or application for registration of utility model after opening to the public which have the said technical properties. ‘This revision employs JIS Z 8200 : 1999 Welding consumables—Technical delivery conditions for welding filler metals—Type of product, dimensions, tolerances and marking as the normative reference.
