Japan - Ministerial Order on Technical Requirements for Specified Products Concerning the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for Bed Guards for Children, Strollers and Riding Helmets

- In conjunction with the amendment to Cabinet Order, the Ministerial Order on Technical Requirements was also amended to establish the applicable technical standards, labelling methods, classifications for product notification, and cautionary statements for the safe use of child bed guards and strollers, and other necessary revisions were made.

- Regarding riding helmets, which had already been designated as Specified Products, necessary amendments were made to the technical standards and classification categories in light of the revisions to the Regulations for Enforcement of the Road Transport Vehicle Act that came into force in November 2024, and the revision of the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) T 8133 in March 2026.
