Japanese Agricultural Standard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Japan Air System.
The Japanese Agricultural Standards (日本農林規格 (Nihon Nōrin Kikaku)) are standards for the agriculture industry maintained by the Japanese Government. They are comparable to Japanese Industrial Standards but for food and agricultural products. Once a product has passed tests conducted by government-backed rating bureaus the JAS seal (right) is appended to the product.[1]
