JIS

(Japanese Industrial Standards)

Description
 It specifies the standards used for industrial
activities in Japan.
 The standardization process is coordinated
by Japanese Industrial Standards
Committee (JISC) and published through
Japanese Standards Association (JAS).
 Japanese companies can ensure that their
products meet the same quality and safety
standards as products produced in other
countries.
History
 Formed at 1945 after WWII, was authorized
to incorporate by the Minister of Trade and
Industry on December 6, 1945.
 The Industrial Standardization Law was
enacted in 1949, which forms the legal
foundation for the present Japanese
Industrial Standards (JIS).
 All standards published trough JSA (Japan
Standard Association).
JIS MARK
 The Industrial Standardization Law was
revised in 2004 and the product
certification system was changed.

 After October 1, 2008, all JIS certified

products shall have the new marks.
Outline of JIS
 It covers industrial and mineral products
with the exception of medicines,
agricultural chemicals, chemical fertilizer,
silk yarn, and foodstuffs designated under
the Law Concerning Standardization and
Proper Labelling of Agricultural and Forestry
Products.

 JSA is NSB for Japan
 Primary activities of JSA :

 Developing JIS at JSA and industrial
organizations

microscopy“
 ISO/TC 202/SC 4"Microbeam analysis / Scanning electron
microscopy (SEM)“
 ISO/TMB/WG on Risk Management"Risk Management"
JIS designation
 Standards are named like "JIS X 0208:1997",
 where X denotes area division, followed by four digits
(or five digits for some of the standards
corresponding ISO standards),
 and the revision release year.
 Other designation :
 JIS C 7501: The majorities of JIS have this type of
symbol.
 JIS Q 14001: This symbol is 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 the
necessary requirements
