FAQ

Our company has a similar product certification of foreign countries such as EN or ASTM.
Is this certification simply utilized in Japan for JIS certification or is there any additional condition?

There are many different product standards in the world.

At the moment, the "Japan Industrial Standardization Law" stipulated that JIS product certification is solely obtained through formal audit/product test by the government accredited certification body(such as JTCCM).

How many auditors and days are expected for onsite audit?

Normally, 2 auditors will carry out 2 days onsite audit for a foreign plant.

If you apply certification of 2 or more products, additional audit time may be required.

Where can I get JIS standards in English?

You can buy it from the Japanese Standards Association(JSA). Unfortunately, there are some JIS standards which are not translated in English.
