Recent activities of Japan Pulp and Paper Testing Committee are described in this paper. Four or five JIS drafts have been newly established and revised each year. Most of JIS drafts have been conformed to ISO standards step by step since1998, so that JIS would not be become a non-tariff barrier.
Recent JIS revisions are as follows.(1) Estimation of contraries, stickies and plastics of recycled pulps would be newly established in JIS pulp and paper test standards.(2) The diffuse reflectance method with the CIE illuminant C has been accepted in all optical determinations of JIS pulp and paper test standards.(3) The print-surf surface roughness has been standardized in 2004. Also the Stöckigt sizing method has been revised in 2004, although it is not established in ISO standards.(4) Some measurements with new technologies, such as determination of total chlorine and organically bound chlorine and fiber length measurement with automated optical analysis, would be prepared as JIS pulp and paper test standards.
This paper summarizes 17 recent standards of JIS published or to be published after 2004.
