Toys entering the Japan market are required to comply with the Japan Food Sanitation Law (JFSL) and/or the Japan Toy Safety Standard (ST Standard). JFSL is a legislative mandatory requirement for toys intended for children up to the age of 6, whereas the ST standard is a popular voluntary standard established by the Japan Toy Association (JTA) for toys intended for children up to the age of 14. For the ST standard, only toys that have achieved compliance may display the ST Mark.
