JIS Standards
In Japan, there are national standards called JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards).
When referring to JIS, we often say JIS kikaku (JIS規格) by adding the term kikaku (規格).
In fact, this expression is also used on the web page of JISC (Japanese Industrial Standards Committee), which coordinates and publishes JIS.
However, since kikaku means "standard," some people think that the expression JIS kikaku is redundant and wrong.
Such redundant expressions are called RAS syndrome (Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome).
For example, IT gijutsu (IT技術 - literally means "Information Technology technology") is a kind of RAS syndrome.

JIS規格
日本には、国家標準の規格として JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards: 日本産業規格) があります。
我々はよく、JIS に「規格」をつけて「JIS規格」のように言います。
実際、JIS の調査や審議を行っている JISC (Japanese Industrial Standards Committee: 日本産業標準調査会) の Webページ でも、「JIS規格」という表現が使われています。
しかし、「規格」は "standard" を意味するため、「JIS規格」は "standard" が重複しており、冗長で正しくないとする見方もあります。
このような重複表現のことを、RAS症候群 (Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome) と言います。
例えば、「IT技術」なども RAS症候群の一つです。
