Two Standardization Project Themes Determined as New Standardization Projects to be Developed by Taking Advantage of the "Standardization System for Cultivating New Markets"

Note 1: Japan Industrial Standards Committee: A committee established by METI under the Industrial Standardization Act
Note 2: Standardization System for Cultivating New Markets:
A system to support the standardization of technologies and services that would be difficult to promote through the conventional standardization processes, such as ones that span multiple relevant organizations, and advanced technologies owned by specific companies. See here (in Japanese) for an overview of the system.

1. Outline

Standardization is a tool for rapidly spreading new technologies and outstanding products, and is essential to forming business strategies.
Against this backdrop, the JISC Standards Board for the ISO Area has examined the following themes and deemed them to be appropriate as new standardization projects that can be developed using the system.

Themes that use of the Standardization System for Cultivating New Markets has been decided for

Proposed theme	Proposer [Address]
Creating a JIS on the methods for measuring the performance of drag reduction agents used for water circulation pipes in central air conditioning systems (Enabling energy conservation by reducing the amount of electric power used by air conditioning systems.)	Shunan Mizusyori Co., Ltd. [Yamaguchi Prefecture]
Creating a JIS on the methods for measuring three-dimensional coordinates using industrial robots (Enabling manual labor to be reduced and quality to be controlled with high precision in inspection processes at manufacturing sites)	LINKWIZ, Inc. [Shizuoka Prefecture]

2. Future schedule

With a view to creating the JISs, a Committee for Preparing Draft Proposals will be established and proceed with creating draft versions of them in order to gain consensus from consumers and other stakeholders.
The committee's draft proposals will become JISs if they are deemed appropriate after being examined by the JISC and going through some other necessary procedures.
