Japan
In Japan, type test requirements are provided in Article 44 of the Industrial Safety
and Health Law. These requirements apply to complete systems and cannot be
applied to a module by itself. Accordingly, to use the module in Japan as a safety
device for press machine or shearing tool pursuant to Article 42 of the above-
mentioned law, it is necessary to apply for testing of the entire system.
