JAS
The Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS) is the mandatory organic certification for exporting and marketing organic products in Japan. It is intended for agricultural producers, livestock farmers, and food processors. Control Union Certifications provides annual audits and certification services, facilitating access to the Japanese market by confirming compliance with these standards.
What is JAS?
Overseen by the Ministry of Agriculture of Japan (MAFF), JAS certification applies to agricultural, livestock, and processed organic food certification. Achieving this standard provides independent confirmation of a company’s quality claims to its clients and facilitates better management of traceability and contamination risks. With a global network of offices, Control Union delivers efficient and cost-effective auditing, including the option to combine certifications, which saves both time and expense for businesses.
