HISTORY OF
JAPAN
INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDS (JIS)
HISTORY OF JIS
● In the Meiji Era, private enterprises were
responsible for making standards although
the Japanese government did have standards
and specification documents for
procurement purposes for certain articles,
such as munitions.
● These were summarized to form an official
standard (old JIS) in 1912. During World
War II, simplified standards were
established to increase material output.
HISTORY OF JIS
● The present Japanese Standards Association
was established after Japan’s defeat in
World War II in 1945. The Japanese
Industrial Standards Committee regulations
were promulgated in 1946, Japanese
standards was formed.
● The Industrial Standardization Law was
enacted in 1949, which forms the legal
foundation for the present Japanese
Industrial Standards (JIS).
HISTORY OF JIS
● The Industrial Standardization Law was
revised in 2004 and the “JIS mark” (product
certification system) was changed, and the
new JIS mark was applied since October 1,
2005 upon re-certification.
HISTORY OF JIS
● The old mark is allowed to be used until
September 30, 2008 for a transition period
of 3 years, ad every manufacture obtaining
new or renewing certification under the
authority’s approval are then able to use the
new JIS mark. Therefore, all JIS certified
Japanese products shall have the new JIS
mark after October 1, 2008.

STANDARDS
OUTLINE OF JIS
● JIS covers industrial and mineral products
with the exception of:
1. Medicines
2. Agricultural Chemicals
3. Chemical Fertilizers
4. Silk Yarn
5. Food Stuffs
Agricultural and forest products designated
under the Law Concerning Standardization and
Proper Labelling of Agricultural and Forestry
Products.
OUTLINE OF JIS
● The letter symbol indicates the technical
area (JIS Division), and the 4-digit or 5-
digit number is added to locate the JIS in an
appropriate place within that division.
OUTLINE OF JIS
● Standardization items established as JIS
have the following symbols:
 JIS C 7501 : The majorities of JIS have
this type of symbol.
 JIS Q 14001 : This symbol mainly used in
case JIS adopts international standard
identically.
 JIS X 5056-1 : This symbol is used in case
JIS adopts international standard specifies
only a part of necessary requirements.

INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDIZATION
JIS ROLE
● JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS
COMMITTEE
● The Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC),
Japan's national standardization body, plays a central role
in developing standards in Japan covering a wide range
of products and technologies from robots to pictograms.
JISC is also responsible for Japan's growing contribution
to setting international standards through its work with
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
JIS ROLE
● JIS and other industrial standards are private
agreements, which manufacturers, sellers, users and
academic experts establish and have no binding
authority, while the Technical Standards, based on the
Electrical Utility Law and the Electrical Appliance
Safety Law, can impose punishment on their violators.
Therefore, any products, which are subject to the laws,
must comply with the Technical Standards, regardless of
whether they are manufactured in accordance with other
industrial standards or not. The Interpretations of the
Technical Standards refer to the JIS and other industrial
standards.
JIS ROLE
● JAPANESE CABLE STANDARDS
● Infrastructure in the form of electric power
supply telecommunications grids and
networks is essential to modern life. The
electric wires and cables that underpin this
infrastructure are as important to today's
society as nerves and blood vessels are to the
body. JCS social contribution comes through
fostering the development of the electric
wire and cable industry on which our society
depends.
● Japanese Cable Standards formulates all
types of standards for safe use of electric
wire and cable. Misuse of electric wires
cause accidents and injuries every day. We
help ensure public safety by promoting
standards in wire and cable design and use.
JCMA researches wire and cable
performance to discern the needs of society
and set standards. It's a job we do, because
many manufacturers cannot do it on their
own.
 INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDIZATION
● Standardization can be defined as “reducing,
simplifying, and organizing matters which
are apt to become diversified, complicated,
and chaotic if left uncontrolled.” Standards
can be defined as “rules” specified by
standardization. There are mandatory
standards and voluntary standards, but
generally voluntary ones are referred to as
“standards.”
 INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDIZATION
● Industrial standardization represents
standardization in the industrial sector, and in
Japan, Japanese Industrial Standards are
adopted as national industrial standards. With
regard to “goods” and “matters,” which are apt
to become diversified, complicated, and
chaotic if left uncontrolled, industrial
standardization aims to establish state-level
“standards” in the form of technical
documents and to “unify” or “simplify” them
equally throughout Japan.
 INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDIZATION
● From the multiple viewpoints of ensuring
convenience in economic and social activities
(securing compatibility), enhancing
production efficiency (mass-production by
reducing variety), securing fairness (assurance
of consumer profits and simplification of
transactions), promoting technology
advancement (support for the creation of new
knowledge and the development/dissemination
of new technologies.
 INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDIZATION

● Preserving safety and health, and conserving

the environment.
● The significance of industrial standardization
can be explained as follows, focusing on the
functions thereof (operation and effects).

 FUNCTIONS
CONTRIBUTING TO
ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
1. Assurance of appropriate product quality
standards
2. Provision of product information
3. Dissemination of technology
4. Enhancement of production efficiency
5. Development of competitive environment
6. Securing compatibility and interface
consistency
 FUNCTIONS AS A MEANS
TO ACHIEVE SOCIAL
GOALS
● Industrial standardization can
promote the proactive activities of
companies and consumers without
imposing regulations by technical
standards defined by mandatory
legislation.
 FUNCTIONS AS A MEANS
TO ACHIEVE SOCIAL
GOALS
● If they are working appropriately as a
means to pursue policy goals such as
“enhancement of industrial
competitiveness,” “preservation of
environment, safety, and rights,” and
“promotion of energy conservation and
resource conservation.”
FUNCTIONS AS ACTION
RULES TO PROMOTE
MUTUAL
UNDERSTANDING
● Industrial standardization can unify technical
infrastructure such as terms, marks,
measurement units, test assessment methods,
production methods, safety levels, format
display of specifications, etc. as a means to
mutually communicate technical requirements
and technical data between related parties
(manufacturers, distributors, users,
consumers, and researchers).
FUNCTIONS AS ACTION
RULES TO PROMOTE
MUTUAL
UNDERSTANDING
● Furthermore, in recent years, guidelines
for test assessment methods,
specifications concerning consumer
goods, mark display, and various
management systems have become
important aspects of industrial
standardization, with a view to
promoting international standardization.
FUNCTIONS FOR
PROMOTING TRADE
● As trade has become globalized and trade
volume has increased, the maintaining of
differing national standards and technical
standards by individual countries, as
defined by mandatory legislation, may
hinder international trade. It is difficult to
ensure that all countries bring their
mandatory technical standards legislation
into line with each other’s standards
 FUNCTIONS FOR
PROMOTING TRADE
● It is difficult to ensure that all countries bring
their mandatory technical standards
legislation into line with each other’s
standards, but in such cases, industrial
standardization can be utilized to maintain
and develop free trade. In other words,
countries’ national standards are to be
adjusted to comply with international
standards which the ISO/IEC adopts based on
international consensuses, and such national
standards are to be incorporated into
countries’ mandatory legislation technical
standards.
