2. When areas where national standards are poor, JIS becomes the trading standard. A lot of countries which has poor national standards like Japan and Southeast Asia uses JIS standard it self and in this case regardless to exporting to Japan, they need JIS certification in their own country. Also, there are a lot of cases from constructions and bidding that has Japanese funds, requiring JIS. New kinds of JIS Certification mark

    cf - Adjusted every two months Planning to add items per year
2. Certification center
There are 25 Certification center now (2013.08.01) two in korea, one in Australia and rest in Japan.
Those centers don't treat every kinds of products. Each center has their capable screening items (Standard No.)
Australia's institute only has some kinds of certification code so it is nominal and there are 700 kinds of certification available in Korea. In Korea, there are two ways to certificate the products.
First is to enroll the products and certificate the products which were not availible to certificate. Second is to certificate by the Japanese institute.
3. Audited Operating performance
Last 6 months operating performance
4. Time and Cost for certification.
Time and cost depends on
Which country (Japan? Korea?) are they going to get certification from.
(Japanese institution comparing to Korean institution, the testing expenses and consulting expenses are about 3times higher/ Need 3 times more budget)
When you are getting from Korean institute, is it the product which cad be certificated? or does it need additional steps to certificate?
(Products that can't be certificated needs extra time for adding the code but when you use Japanese institute, you need longer time for preparing the certification so when you sum up the time the time taken is similar in Korea and Japan.
What is your level of quality control/ etc makes the difference so after identification of the JIS standard number you need extra consulting.
