scope:

This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies the producing apparatuses with a rated voltage of no greater than 250 V (hereafter referred to as producing apparatuses) that produce water containing available chlorine through electrolysis of an aqueous solution containing chloride ions ¹⁾.

This Standard is applicable to the apparatuses for producing mainly hypochlorous acid water which is designated as a food additive. However, it is not applicable to apparatuses that produce specified pesticides (specified agricultural chemicals)²⁾ or medical electrical equipment (JIS T 0601-1).

Notes ¹⁾ An aqueous solution containing chloride ions refers to drinking water that originally contained chloride ions or drinking water to which chloride ions have been added.

²⁾ Specified pesticides (specified agricultural chemicals) are those pesticides that are defined in Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the revised Agricultural Chemicals Control Act and specified in No.2 Notification of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the Ministry of the Environment.
