Duplicate?

After I edited I found a similar article: Japanese Agricultural Standards. A merge may be required.--Commander Keane (talk) 08:45, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quite possibly but you need to be aware that the Japanese Agricultural Standard covers at least three main types of certification each with their own logo. This page was intended to cover only the organic certification as it was stub from the organic certification page. Unfortunately MAFF recently rearranged their website and it would take a Japanese literate person to find the other parts of the std. (Mike Smith 22:36, 25 October 2009 (UTC))

The timber referred to on the other page is certified under a different part of JAS. (Mike Smith 22:42, 25 October 2009 (UTC)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karkariki (talk • contribs)

Examples of the other logos can be found at this web address http://www.maff.go.jp/e/jas/jas/index.html. Organic products may only have the label applied if the producer has been certified by an approved third party which will be a registered certification body accredited by the Japanese accreditation body FAMIC. The timber mentioned appears to follow a diferent process and is possibly just a quality mark.

Per discussion here and on the talk page of Japanese Agricultural Standards I have merged Japanese Agricultural Standards here. I went with the singular version (standard) as that is what seems to be used on the government website, though if that's an incorrect translation someone can merge it back to the plural title. Per the comment above, I think it would be better to have one good article about the suite of related standards and break it up if it becomes lengthy enough in future. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 04:16, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
