JIS Standard Form

Location: 4th floor, natural science department shelves No. 51 JIS corner

It consists of JIS total catalog, YEARBOOK (English Translation JIS total catalog), and handbooks for each field. The handbook by sector contains JISs related to each field, not by standard number, so it has a listability and is useful for purposes such as summary surveys. However, it is not published in all fields, and some explanations attached to the standard slip (explaining points that were problems at the time of deliberation, differences from the old version and international standards, etc.) Please note that there may be cases where only the revised part may be described as a supplement at the time of revision.

When examining the JIS standard number in the JIS standard number list

If you know the standard number, you can see the standard slip directly, but you want to see the standard of ○○○.…In such a case, you need to check the standard number.

You can search for the corresponding standard number by using the section / classification number list on the back of the JIS total catalog, or use the JIS standard name index (in alphabetical order) at the end of the book to search for the corresponding standard number. .

The JIS Catalog contains the abolished standard numbers and names. For standards that have been migrated to other standards, the standard number of the destination is listed after the name.
Chuo-toshokan has preserved abolished JIS standard forms since fiscal 2006. In addition, since the back issues of the JIS handbook are stored, you can view the JIS text of the year before and after the abolition. However, you cannot see those that are not listed in the handbook or commentary. For more information, please contact Chuo-toshokan.

"Degree of correspondence" between JIS and corresponding international standards

The JIS text shows the corresponding international standard number and the equivalents of its contents. Specifically, ISO/IEC GUIDE 21 categorizes the degree of response in the following three types.

ＩＤＴ： identical (match) ⇒ International standards are adopted as a whole, except for the minimum edit differences.

ＭＯＤ： Revised (correction) ⇒ Adoption of international standards, technical content with international standards and composition differences between the standards and the composition of the standards are to the minimum necessary, and technical differences are clearly identified and explained.

ＮＥＱ： Non-equivalent (not equivalent) ⇒ Not equivalent to international standards, and no changes are clearly identified in the technical content and the configuration of the standard.
