The standard defines several physical and mechanical performance metrics that plastic films must meet to be considered suitable for food packaging:

The standard often serves as a normative benchmark for compliance audits, procurement specs, and corporate ergonomics policies.

JIS Z 1707 mandates strict physical testing to ensure the film performs adequately during handling, transport, and storage. Key performance metrics include:

Evidence supporting JIS Z 1707’s prescriptions comes from experimental studies, field ergonomics surveys, and occupational health epidemiology linking VDT work to visual and musculoskeletal complaints. Limitations include:

(If you’d like, I can provide: a detailed 1-page workstation checklist based on JIS Z 1707, a room lighting plan with target lux levels, or sample procurement specifications for compliant equipment.)
