| Industrial standards are essential to todayʼs society for fair trade, rationalization of design and production. International standards are developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), while JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) exist nationally. |
| JSTRA is participating in the development of ISO and IEC standards as a national committee of Japan in the maritime field. |  |  |

| i) Ship recycling | ISO/TC8 is developing the new standards "ISO 30000 Series" (ISO 30000-ISO 30007). JSTRA is proposing the ISO 30000 Series for the location of hazardous materials standard and the asbestos standard as follows. | | | ― ISO/AWI 30005 Information control for hazardous materials in the manufacturing chain of shipbuilding and ship operations | | | ―ISO/AWI 30006 Illustration of the location of Hazardous Materials onboard Ships | | | ―ISO/AWI 30007 Guideline for measures to prevent asbestos emission and exposure at ships recycling |
| ii) Published International Standards | | JSTRA is contributing to ISO/IEC and Industries by undertaking the new standards developed. | | | ― ISO 22554 : 2007 Ships and marine technology -- Propeller shaft revolution indicators -- Electric type and electronic type | | | ― ISO 22555 : 2007 Ships and marine technology -- Propeller pitch indicators | | | ― ISO 20672 : 2007 Ships and marine technology -- Rate of turn indicators | | | ― ISO 20673 : 2007 Ships and marine technology -- Electric rudder angle indicators |
JSTRA is contributing to ISO/TC8 by undertaking the Chairman/Secretariat of TC8/SC6 and TC8/SC9 and Chairman of TC8/SC2. At the 28th ISO General Assembly held at Singapore in September 2005, TC8 was presented with the Lawrence Eiker Award for its outstanding activities in the past. |  |  |
JSTRA has been involved in the proposal of JIS F standard for its development and revision. JIS F standards, established basing on the technology accumulated from shipbuilding and marine equipment industries in Japan, are widely used for reference of designing and manufacturing, simplification of procedures for placing of orders, specifications for procurement of equipment and materials and so on. In recent years, the line of JIS F development is focusing on adoption of international standards and technological innovations. |
| JIS F standards have published 476 standards May, 2008. These standard category and number is as follows. |
| Standard Category | Number of publish standards (Include Amendment) | General requirements (Terms and definitions, Symbol, testing) | 85 | Deck machinery, out fitting, Windows and side scuttles | 94 | | Engine, Valves and flange | 154 | | Electrical installations and device | 56 | | Computer applications | 10 | | Small craft | 38 | | Navigation | 11 | | Other (Boom, Berge etc.) | 32 | | total | 476 |
| For the purpose to utilize JIS F effectively, JSTRA is publishing Japanese and English JIS F handbook in the from of CD-ROM. (2008 version includes 476 standards) |
