Jis Z 1707

While self-declaration is permitted under JIS, many large buyers require certification from organizations like:

Perhaps the most vital aspect of JIS Z 1707 is its focus on hygiene. Because the film is in direct contact with food, it must meet stringent sanitary requirements.

JIS Z 1707 aims to provide guidance and specifications for designing VDT workstations and the surrounding visual environment so as to:

Its audience includes product designers, workplace planners, occupational health professionals, employers, safety inspectors, and policymakers.

The heart of JIS Z 1707 lies in its quantitative specifications. Below are the key parameters with their corresponding test methods.

To bear the JIS mark, a film must pass a battery of physical tests. This is the core technical feature of the standard:

Heat Resistance: The standard tests how the film reacts to high temperatures. This is crucial for labeling "Microwave Safe." If a film deforms or melts at 100°C, it fails specific grades within the standard.

Hygiene and Safety (Heavy Metals & Evaporation Residue): Perhaps the most important feature for consumers. JIS Z 1707 mandates strict hygiene testing to ensure that harmful substances from the plastic do not migrate into the food. This includes tests for heavy metals and evaporation residue (ensuring the plastic doesn't leach oils or chemicals when in contact with fatty foods).

Heavy-duty liners (Type 2) are used for shipping bumpers, dashboards, and large injection-molded components. The high tear resistance prevents punctures from sharp edges.
