My comment is not the direct answer for your questions.
However, watching some work of Japanese organization may help you to
obtain Japanese documents that is related to that of IPC's.

FPC committess in JPCA(Japan Printed Circuit Association) is now working
to create the guide for Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies, simular
to IPC-A-610, focused on SMT for Flexible PWB.
This work will be another Joint Standatd between IPC and JPCA in near
future, like we already have IPC/JPCA-6202 and IPC/JPCA-4104.
The original of these standards are "made in Japan" , of course written
in Japanese and still available to get these Japanese version by
contacting JPCA, TEL+81-3-5310-2020 or FAX+81-3-5310-2021.

For Japanese translation of IPC-TM-650, has been published by
GOUSEIJYUSI KOUGYOU KYOUKAI, TEL+81-3-3580-0881 or FAX+81-3-3580-0832
this is a good guide for Japanese because it contains all the important
test method concerning PWBs.

Hope this helps to resolve your questions.
