Description of Designated Manufacturer System

摘要

To ensure the supply of accurate weighing equipment, the Japanese Weights and Measures Act obligates the manufacturers of specific measuring equipment to submit notification of participation in the business, and in principle requires the display of a qualifications approval seal on specific weighing equipment used in transactions and weight certification. A type approval system has been introduced in this qualifications approval system in concert with the increasing structural complication and technological sophistication of specific measuring equipment, and specific measuring equipment acquiring type approval is in principle observed to comply with the technological standards prescribed for structural approval.
