 | Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) specifies the standards used for industrial activities in Japan. |
 | 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. |

 | Industries related to nanotechnology seriously consider it necessary to have scientifically reasonable discussions in the early stages of development on whether nanotechnology and/or nanoparticles are really safe, or how they can be made safely, since the potential nanotechnology market in the future is inestimable. |
 | In November 2004, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, or METI (which is the JISC secretariat), established a study group, the Committee for Nanotechnology Standardization Research and Study, in cooperation with the Japanese Standards Association. |
 | This committee consists of experts from industry, academia and public institutions, and it is regarded as a driver of necessary research for Japan’s international standardization strategies in nanotechnology. |
