FYI,as a Japanese engineer.
"DENTORI" stands for "DENki youhin TORIshimari hou"
which means Electrical products regulation in English,
like CE marking (the Low Voltage Directive) in Europe.
Although "DENTORI" is informal abbreviation,
the word is quite common for the Japanese engineers.
I often write "DENTORI" when I need to communicate with non-Japanese
and I usually pronounce "DENTORI" instead of
"DENki youhin TORIshimari hou" but I have not seen "DENTORY".
The following may be vital piece of information for you.
"DENTORI" will change "DENANHOU" on April 1 2001.
"DENANHOU" stans for "DENki youhin ANzen HOU" which means
Electrical products safety regulation in English.
"DENANHOU" is similar to "DENTORI" but it is not the same.
DENki---Electrical
youhin---products
TORIshimari hou---regulation(law)
ANzen HOU---safety regulation(law)
