Yamaha symbol on action

[Jim Moy]

Anyone know what this symbol means? It's from a sticker in an upright action:

As far as I know, and I could be wrong, it’s the Japanese award of excellence.

Yes. It's the symbol indicating registration with the Japanese Standards industry body. But it doesn't indicate what standards that apply. IE. Quality Control, Materials, Packaging, Health & Safety, etc.

In 1988 Samick pianos built in Korea and China even used the symbol.

From Wikipedia:

The recent Japanese Standards Association was established in 1946, a year after Japan's defeat in World War II. The Japanese Industrial Standards Committee regulations were promulgated in 1946, and new standards were formed.

The Industrial Standardization Law was revised in 2004 and the JIS product certification mark was changed; since October 1, 2005, the new JIS mark has been used upon re-certification. Use of the old mark was allowed during a three-year transition period ending on September 30, 2008, and every manufacturer was able to use the new JIS mark. Therefore all JIS-certified Japanese products manufactured since October 1, 2008, have had the new JIS mark.
