No, china has their own standards. In some cases they are less comprehensive, or less well enforced than in the US, despite the fact that enforcement sometimes includes the death penalty.
The UK has occupational exposure standards but they are not OSHA standards because OSHA is a US government agency. In the UK, occupational safety and health is regulated by the Health and Safety Executive
Yes, but it must meet US safety and emission standards.
The US Department of Labor is responsible for setting workplace health and safety standards. Its agencies include OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration)
If the car is over 25 years old, then I think you can import it.For newer cars:If the car is the same as a model that is sold in the US and you can get a letter from the manufacturer stating that the Japanese version is basically the same as the US version (i.e., it meets all the US safety and pollution standards), then you should be able to import it after working through a bunch of red tape.If the same model is not sold in the US, it is still technically legal to import one but it is not practical. To import it, you must modify it and show that it meets US pollution standards and I think some safety standards. You can find a company to make the changes, but it is VERY expensive and takes a long time to do.
The country of origin will tell you something about the standards of safety of that product. The recent problems of toys from China to the US is a good example. Toys shipped to the US must have paint that is non-toxic, and the imports from China had paint that had more lead in the paint than was acceptable. IN the US, knowing where the product came from is part of information that should be freely available. Imports frequently do not have the same standards for all countries, and it is your right as an informed consumer to decide whether to purchase the product based on the information you are given. This measure is just one way to base an informed decision.
In the US, OSHA is the governmental organization that issues legally enforceable safety standards for the workplace. Numerous other national organizations issue standards that are not legally enforceable but serve as benchmarks and expert guides.
Not different from non-Airbus planes as the safety standards are set by aviation authorities (FAA in the US). If you do not have their minimal safety equipment, you cannot fly.
