9.4 Machine safety in Japan
9.4.1 Machine safety in Japan
The situation in Japan is different from that in Europe and the US. Legislation such as that
prescribed in Europe does not exist. Similarly, product liability does not play such an important
role as it does in the US.
Instead of legal requirements to apply standards have been defined, an administrative
recommendation to apply JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) is in place: Japan bases its
approach on the European concept and uses basic standards as national standards (see table).
