This translation has been made based on the Amendment to the origi-
nal Japanese Industrial Standard revised by the Minister of Economy,
Trade and Industry through deliberations at the Japanese Industrial
Standards Committee as the result of proposal for revision of Japanese
Industrial Standard with the draft being attached, based on the provi-
sion of Article 12 Clause 1 of the Industrial Standardization Law ap-
plicable to the case of revision by the provision of Article 14.
Consequently, JIS K 2236:1997 is partially replaced with this Amend-
ment.
