  3. IT accessibility JIS (Japanese Insdustrial Standards) JIS Z8071 Guidelines for standards developers to address the needs of the elderly and disabled(ISO/IEC guide71) Basic Guidelines JIS X8341-1Information Communications Equipment, Software andServices Part1: CommonGuidelines Group Standards JIS X8341-2Information-processing Devices JIS X8341-3Web Content JIS X8341-4Telecommunications Devices JIS X8341-5Office Equipment Product-specific Standards

  4. Current status of accessibility-related JIS standardization in Japan ① Basic Standards (ISO Guide 71) JIS Z 8071 Guidelines for Standardization JIS S 0011 Marking Tactile Dots on Consumer Products JIS S 0012 Usability of Consumer Products JIS S 0013 Auditory Signals on Consumer Products JIS S 0014 Auditory Signals on Consumer Products – Sound Pressure Levels of Signals for the Elderly and in Noisy Conditions JIS S 0021 Packaging and Receptacles JIS S 0022 Packaging and Receptacles Test Methods for Opening JIS S 0023 Guidelines for Designing Clothes in Consideration of the Elderly JIS S 0024 Housing Equipment JIS S 0025 Packaging and Receptacles - Tactile Warning of Danger – Requirements JIS S 0031 Visual Signs and Displays – Specification of Age - related Relative Luminance and Its Use in Assessment of Light JIS S 0032 Visual Signs and Displays – Estimation of Minimum Legible Size for a Japanese Single Character JIS X 6310 Prepaid Cards – General Specifications ② Group Standards (Sectorial Guides) JIS X8341-1 Information Communications Equipment, Software andServices Part1: Common Guidelines JIS X8341-2 Part2: Information-processing Devices JIS X8341-3 Part3: Web Content JIS X8341-4 Part4: Telecommunications Devices JIS X8341-5 Part5: Office Equipment ③ Product-specific Standards

  5. Effect of JIS • The Industrial Standardization Law encourages, but does not force, Japanese companies to observe accessibility standards in their procurement activities. • After establishment, normalization has progressed fast.

  6. International Standardization in JAPAN • Japan proposed Common IT accessibility guidelines (ISO/DIS 9421-20) • Japan proposed telecommunications devices accessibility guideline to ITU-T • PT was organized at JSA (Japan Standards Association) and JBMIA (Japan Business Machine Industry Association) to propose PC accessibility standard and accessibility setting standard • PT was organized at JBMIA to propose office equipment accessibility standard • Active participation W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) • Feedback to improve JIS standards

  7. Other Accessibility Standardization Activities • Standards of Auditory Signals for Consumer Products- Sound Pressure Levels of Signals for Elderly and Noisy Conditions is under research and being developed by AIST • Japan-Korea-China Accessibility Design Committee planned - the themes are Marking Tactile Dots on Consumer Products, packaging ,etc • Accessible Design Forumplanned- More than 20 organizations from such as users, manufacturers, and academia concerned with Accessibility Design
