4. Regarding the trial purchase investigation
The Ministry of Economy and Industry has been conducting trial purchase surveys since 2013 (randomly purchasing from the market and confirming compliance with technical standards).
As a result of the investigation, it has been confirmed that there are specific household measuring instruments suspected to be unqualified.
If the importer or manufacturer is found to have violated their obligation to comply with technical standards, they will be bound by measurement laws.
In addition, if the seller does not officially display a positive mark, they will be punished.
We require all operators to comply with Japanese laws and regulations.
We provide corrective improvement guidelines for enterprises suspected of non-compliance, and the main items
reported as corrective/improvement are as follows.
reported as corrective/improvement are as follows.
(1) Performance is important
Importers or manufacturers are not aware of technical standards.
We have set specifications (capacity, scale) that are difficult to ensure quality.
Due to its storage as a long-term inventory item, performance has decreased.
When transported from overseas to Japan or domestically, it cannot be fully processed as a precision instrument. Alternatively, due to insufficient attention to the carrier, the performance may be reduced due to impacts and other factors.
It uses its own tool errors (greater than three times the number of tool errors) for management, which is different from tool errors in established technical standards.
The error of inspection tools from manufacturers to importers should be managed based on 1/2 of the accuracy during use, but due to a lack of understanding or misunderstanding of technical standards, they should be managed during use. The tolerance of instrument error.
Before starting the import, it has been confirmed that it meets the technical standards, but whether it meets the requirements after the actual import is not enough.
(2) Items to be displayed on the product/individual packaging box and instruction manual
Due to a lack of understanding and recognition of technical standards, there is no necessary labeling.
Unable to recognize the ‘positive mark‘, not displayed or insufficient size.
The importer correctly placed the order with the manufacturer, but the inspection or acceptance of the order by the importer was insufficient.
The content displayed in the product, individual packaging box, and instruction manual does not match.
The seller‘s name is displayed, not the actual importer. Alternatively, the name of the business operator that is not displayed.
It is not recognized that pounds (pounds) or stones (St) should not be displayed as illegal units of measurement.
It has been modified so that the function of switching to illegal measurement units cannot be used, but the description of this function is displayed in the instruction manual without deleting it.
Instruct the manufacturer not to use this function to switch to an illegal measurement unit, but the confirmation is insufficient and has not been implemented.
Due to the fact that imported products are sold as is, they are all displayed in foreign languages or do not have necessary labels.
