Best Practices for Compliance

The JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) series includes many codes numbered under Z that focus on ergonomics, human engineering, and occupational safety. JIS Z 1707 evolved as Japan’s response to growing concerns about the ergonomic risks of prolonged computer and display use, dating from the late 20th century when VDTs became ubiquitous in offices. The standard reflects empirical findings about visual fatigue, musculoskeletal strain, and the psychosocial aspects of display work. It also draws on international guidance—such as ISO standards on ergonomics of human-system interaction and recommendations from occupational health organizations—while tailoring requirements to Japanese workplace norms and regulatory frameworks. jis z 1707
