Building Standards Act
Building Standards Act（建築基準法）is a law established to ensure buildings in Japan are constructed safely. It outlines standards for building structures, earthquake resistance, fire safety, ventilation, and lighting to ensure buildings provide a safe and comfortable space for people. For example, it includes rules about building height, distance from property boundaries, and evacuation routes to ensure urban planning and resident safety. When constructing or renovating a building, it must follow with the design and construction guidelines set by this law.
