Summary
According to an MLIT press release, the Cabinet has decided on a Cabinet Order amending part of the Enforcement Order of the Building Standards Act. The announcement describes an expansion of the type conformity certification system to facilitate smoother housing supply, together with rationalization of daylighting regulations, fire prevention regulations, and total-quantity regulation of hazardous materials in use districts. This appears to be a government announcement of a Cabinet decision rather than confirmation of promulgation or entry into force.
Business Impact
Organizations involved in housing supply, building design, or land use may need to consider how changes to certification, daylighting, fire, and hazardous-material rules could affect their processes. The practical effects could vary depending on the final text and timing.
