宮本訪談: WiiFit, 設計挑戰等等 Page2 - 任天堂

※ 引述《stormyuan (stormy)》之銘言：
: 還有日本的WBB上寫最大稱重136kg，而美國是150kg，
: 不是美國的WBB比較"勇"，而是日本政府要體重計要求要能量136kg。
: 很多其他日本的體重計都是136kg。而美國沒有這樣的要求，
: 所以我們就寫出實際的限制。(實際上美日版WBB是一樣的)
: 推 s86871144:日本政府要體重計要求要能量136kg 請問這段是什麼意思 04/20 04:51
: → s86871144:150不就涵蓋了136嗎，為什麼要特地把上限設為136？ 04/20 04:52
The one other point that I probably should explain is that, in Japan, you
might notice on the Wii Fit box that the Balance Board is rated to 136
kilograms, or 300 pounds, whereas here in North America if you look at the
Wii Fit box it is rated to 330 pounds, which is 150 kilograms. So, looking at
the boxes, you would think that the Balance Board was made stronger for here
in the United States.
In fact, Japan has a law called the law of weights in
measures, where scale manufacturers have to submit their products for
certification from the government, and the standards that they were using at
the time, 300 pounds was the standard for a household scale. So in order for
the Balance Board to receive certification from the Japanese government under
this weights and measures law, we had to certify it at a level of 300 pounds.
Because the United States does not have that law, we’re able to state that
it functions at 330 pounds, despite the fact that the boards are exactly the
same in the two countries.

黃字翻譯:
事實上，日本有個法律叫"law of weights in measures"
(不知道日文原文，"量測重量法)
所有體重計廠商需要把他們的產品送給政府認証，
家用體重計認証標準就是136kg(約300磅)
WBB依測重法取得日本政府的認証，
我們需要保證WBB可以量136kg。
而美國沒有這樣的限制法律，
所以我們可以寫WBB實際上限為150kg。
日美的WBB是相同的。

以下是我的猜測:
日本需要認証，而日本的認証標準就是136kg，
如果任天堂寫150kg，那就是標示不實，因為WBB沒有經過150kg認証，
但因日本家用體重計沒有150kg認証，所以一定拿不到150kg認証。
而沒美沒有這個法律(不確定WBB在美國有沒有經過認証)
