JIS, or Japanese Industrial Standard, is the set of standards used by Japanese industries. These standards have been in place since 1921, and have been published in their current, simplified form since 1945. They are used in tandem with the international ISO system of standards. Some of their specifications are equivalent to ISO standards, while others specify standards for Japanese written characters and other elements that are not applicable internationally.
