Japanese Industrial Standards

JAPANESE INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDS
10212021
• Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) (日本産業規
格, Nihon Sangyō Kikaku, formerly 日本工業規格 Nihon
Kōgyō Kikaku until June 30, 2019) are the standards used
for industrial activities in Japan, coordinated by
the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC) and
published by the Japanese Standards Association (JSA).
The JISC is composed of many nationwide committees and
plays a vital role in standardizing activities across Japan.
HISTORY
• In the Meiji era, private enterprises were responsible for making standards, although
the Japanese government too had standards and specification documents for
procurement purposes for certain articles, such as munitions.
• These were summarized to form an official standard, the Japanese Engineering
Standard, in 1921. During World War II, simplified standards were established to
increase matériel output.
• The present Japanese Standards Association was established in 1946, a year after
Japan's defeat in World War II. The Japanese Industrial Standards Committee
regulations were promulgated in 1946, and new standards were formed.
• The Industrial Standardization Law was enacted in 1949, which forms the legal
foundation for the present Japanese Industrial Standards.
The Meiji era (明治, Meiji, Japanese pronunciation: [meꜜː(d)ʑi]) is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23,
1868 to July 30, 1912.[1] The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being
an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation
state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic
ideas.
NEW JIS MARK
• The Industrial Standardization Law was revised
in 2004 and the JIS product certification mark
was changed; since October 1, 2005, the new
JIS mark has been used upon re-certification.
Use of the old mark was allowed during a
three-year transition period ending on
September 30, 2008, and every manufacturer
was able to use the new JIS mark. Therefore all
JIS-certified Japanese products manufactured
since October 1, 2008, have had the new JIS
mark.
STANDARDS CLASSIFICATION AND NUMBERING
• Standards are named in the format "JIS X 0208:1997",

where X denotes area division, followed by four digits
designating the area (five digits for ISO-corresponding
standards), and four final digits designating the revision
year.
