JIS – Japanese Industrial Standards
The Japanese Standards Association – JSA
JIS – Japanese Industrial Standards 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 – JSA.
The objective of the Japanese Standards Association – JSA – is “to educate the public regarding the standardization and unification of industrial standards, and thereby to contribute to the improvement of technology and the enhancement of production efficiency”.
The Japanese industrial standards are organized in the divisions:
A. Civil Engineering and Architecture General Test and Inspection Design and Plan Accommodation and Fixture Material and Fittings Execution Working Machine and Appliance Miscellaneous
B. Mechanical Engineering General Machine and Parts Common to Factory Automation Tools, Jig and Implements Machine Tool Measuring and Calculating Machine and Appliances, Machine for Physics Machine and Appliances, Machine for Physics General Machine
C. Electronic and Electrical Engineering General Measuring and Testing Machine and Appliance Material Electric Wire, Cable and Electric Line Apparatus Electric Machine and Appliance Communication Machine and Appliance Vacuum Tube, Lamp Bulb Illumination Appliance, Wiring Appliance, Battery Electric Application Machine and Appliance
D. Automotive Engineering General Method of Test and Inspection Common Parts Motors and Engine Chassis, Car Bodies Electric System, Instrument Special Car Construction Machine Repair, Control, Test and Inspection Appliance Bicycles
E. Railway Engineering Track General Electric Car Line and Substation Signaling and Safety Appliance Rolling Stock General Motive Power (Rolling Stock) Railway Carriage and Wagons Industrial Vehicles Cable Cars
F. Shipbuilding General Hull Parts Engine Parts Electric Parts (1) Measuring Instruments
