Article 44-2Type Examination

第四十四条の二(型式検定)

Pursuant to Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, a person that has manufactured or imported machinery or other such equipment as referred to in Article 42 which is set forth in Appended Table 4 and specified by Cabinet Order must undergo an examination regarding that machinery's or other equipment's type that a person registered by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare (hereinafter referred to as a "registered agency for type examinations") undertakes; provided, however, that this does not apply to any such machinery or other such equipment that has been imported and for which an examination as referred to in the following paragraph has been undertaken.

第四十二条の機械等のうち、別表第四に掲げる機械等で政令で定めるものを製造し、又は輸入した者は、厚生労働省令で定めるところにより、厚生労働大臣の登録を受けた者(以下「登録型式検定機関」という。)が行う当該機械等の型式についての検定を受けなければならない。ただし、当該機械等のうち輸入された機械等で、その型式について次項の検定が行われた機械等に該当するものは、この限りでない。

Beyond as prescribed in the preceding paragraph, in the following cases, pursuant to Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, a person that has manufactured machinery or other such equipment referred to in the first part of the preceding paragraph in a foreign country (hereinafter referred to as a "foreign manufacturer" in this paragraph and Article 44-4) may itself undergo an examination regarding that machinery's or other such equipment's type that a registered agency for type examinations undertakes:

前項に定めるもののほか、次に掲げる場合には、外国において同項本文の機械等を製造した者(以下この項及び第四十四条の四において「外国製造者」という。)は、厚生労働省令で定めるところにより、当該機械等の型式について、自ら登録型式検定機関が行う検定を受けることができる。

if the person seeks to export the machinery or other such equipment to Japan;

当該機械等を本邦に輸出しようとするとき。

if the person that has imported the machinery or other such equipment is a person other than the foreign manufacturer (hereinafter such persons are referred to simply as "other persons"), and the foreign manufacturer does not wish to have examinations as referred to in the preceding paragraph undertaken for other persons.

当該機械等を輸入した者が外国製造者以外の者(以下この号において単に「他の者」という。)である場合において、当該外国製造者が当該他の者について前項の検定が行われることを希望しないとき。

Having received an application from a person seeking to undergo an examination as referred to in the preceding two paragraphs (hereinafter referred to as a "type examination"), a registered agency for type examinations must not give a passing result on the type examination unless it finds that the construction of the machinery or other such equipment and the equipment used for manufacturing and inspecting that machinery or other such equipment conforms to the standards specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

登録型式検定機関は、前二項の検定(以下「型式検定」という。)を受けようとする者から申請があつた場合には、当該申請に係る型式の機械等の構造並びに当該機械等を製造し、及び検査する設備等が厚生労働省令で定める基準に適合していると認めるときでなければ、当該型式を型式検定に合格させてはならない。

A registered agency for type examinations issues an applicant a type examination certificate for the type for which it has passed the type examination.

登録型式検定機関は、型式検定に合格した型式について、型式検定合格証を申請者に交付する。

When a person that has undergone a type examination has manufactured in Japan or imported into Japan machinery or other such equipment of a type for which it has passed a type examination, that person, pursuant to Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, must affix a label indicating that it constitutes machinery or other such equipment of a type for which it has passed a type examination. The same applies to a person that has imported into Japan machinery or other such equipment of a type for which a type examination has been passed (but only one that is not itself the person that has undergone that type examination).

型式検定を受けた者は、当該型式検定に合格した型式の機械等を本邦において製造し、又は本邦に輸入したときは、当該機械等に、厚生労働省令で定めるところにより、型式検定に合格した型式の機械等である旨の表示を付さなければならない。型式検定に合格した型式の機械等を本邦に輸入した者(当該型式検定を受けた者以外の者に限る。)についても、同様とする。

It is prohibited to affix a label as referred to in the preceding paragraph or a label misleadingly similar thereto to machinery or other such equipment other than that for which a person has passed a type examination.

型式検定に合格した型式の機械等以外の機械等には、前項の表示を付し、又はこれと紛らわしい表示を付してはならない。

A person must not use machinery or other such equipment as referred to in the main clause of paragraph (1) that does not have a label as referred to in paragraph (5) affixed to it.

第一項本文の機械等で、第五項の表示が付されていないものは、使用してはならない。
