As an analogy, before a law of gravitation could be formulated, it was necessary to have the concepts of 'acceleration' and 'weight,' and there had to be commonly accepted measures of these terms.

The analogy provision was prescribed in 1979 Criminal Law and abolished in the amendment in 1997, and the principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime established formally.

Unless national law provides otherwise, additional categories of strict liability can be found by analogy to other sources of comparable risk of damage.
