Abstract
Japanese Industrial Standard of “General Rule of Thermal Analysis” (JIS K0129; 1994) established in 1994 has been used as a basic rule among fourteen thermal analysis JIS's specified for plastics, metals and ceramics. Revision of the general rule has been requested by industrial domains in order to catch up the development attained during these 12 years. The major revision was mainly carried out in the following points: (1) terms of thermal analysis were harmonized with newly established terminology, (2) dynamic mechanical analysis was added, (3) variety of attached apparatus was increased, (4) conformation of apparatuses was illustrated accommodating to computer aided systems, and (5) the section describing quality control of data was newly added. JIS K0129; 1994 was revised and authorized as JIS K0129; 2005.
