Japan - Ministerial Order on Technical Requirements for Specified Products Concerning the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry

Business description

In March 2026, the Order for Enforcement of the Consumer Product Safety Act(“Cabinet Order”) will be amended to newly designate bed guards for children and strollers as Specified Products and Specified Products for Children.

Following this designation, Japan proposes to revise the Ministerial Order on Technical Requirements for Specified Products Concerning the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to establish the relevant technical requirements, labelling methods, classifications for product notification, and required cautionary statements for these products.

In addition, based on the latest revisions of JIS T 8133 for riding helmets, it will update the name of the JIS and adjust provisions related to vehicle classifications for motorized bicycles in accordance with Regulations for Enforcement of the Road Transport Vehicle Act 2024.
