In Japan, standardization of allergens for therapeutics and diagnosis is very limited. Only one allergen (Cryptomeria japonica) extract was standardized. The standardization of two kinds of allergens for therapeutics (Cedar pollen and Dermatophagoides allergens) is now progressing. As for food allergens, the Japanese Ministry of Health Labour and Welfare (MHLW) made a decision for mandatory labeling of foods containing allergenic ingredients in 2001. Egg, milk, wheat, buckwheat and peanut, and most recently shrimp and crab require mandatory labeling. Standardization of food allergens for allergenic ingredient measurement has been advanced.
在日本，用于治疗和诊断的过敏原标准化工作非常有限。仅有一种过敏原（日本柳杉）提取物实现了标准化。目前，两种用于治疗的过敏原（雪松花粉和尘螨过敏原）的标准化工作正在推进。至于食品过敏原，日本厚生劳动省在2001年做出决定，要求对含有致敏成分的食品进行强制标注。鸡蛋、牛奶、小麦、荞麦、花生，以及最近的虾和蟹都需要强制标注。用于测量致敏成分的食品过敏原标准化工作已经取得进展。
