3 I. Background for International Harmonization of Vehicle Safety Standards Most countries are applying their own safety regulations to motor vehicles to reduce traffic accidents, deaths and injuries. But different motor vehicles safety standards regarded as technical barriers to trade - Issues regarding trade barriers are shifting to technical barriers to trade from tariff barrier due to establishment of WTO system International Harmonization of Motor Vehicle Safety Standards is drawing worldwide attention - to enhance motor vehicle safety - to reduce trade barrier 1

4 II. Policy Goals and Implementation Plans Improve safety standards to to international levels Enhance vehicle quality for for the the higher safety of of passengers Harmonize Harmonize safety safety standards standards with with international international standards standards - - Align Align standards standards based based on on ECE ECE Reg. Reg. with with ECE ECE Reg. Reg. - - Adopt Adopt GTR GTR Enhance Enhance international international cooperation cooperation on on automobile automobile safety safety standards standards Transparent Procedures Enhance Multilateral Cooperation -Lead APEC/VSHG -Participate in ESV -Station personnel in Geneva Expand Bilateral Cooperation -Strengthen cooperation with China, Japan and the US -Plan to build coop. channel with EC 2

5 III. Overview of Korea s Efforts for International Harmonization of Vehicle Safety Standards Passive Active Continue Harmonization 1994 ~ WP29 observer APEC/VSHG( 96) G/I meeting( 00) 98 Agreement ( 01) -- Finalize Gov. policy on Internationalization - Establish a T/F - Attend WP29 Expert Meetings - Chair APEC/VSHG (Since the 22 nd meeting) - Research on internationalization (Phase 1) -- Acceded to 1958 Agreement (E51) - Research on internationalization (Phase 2) - Active participation in - WP29 and APEC, etc. -- Research of 4 items for standard harmonization -- Harmonizing 4~5 Items each year and reflecting into domestic standard - - Active participation in WP29 and APEC, etc. 3

6 1. Enhancing International Cooperation : Passive Participation WP29 since Participate in in WP29 as as an an Observer APEC/VSHG since Focus on on understanding roles roles with with regard to to international cooperation as as a member economy ASIA G/I Meeting since Attend the the meeting since since 3 rd rd G/I G/I meeting Acceded to 1998 Agreement in Prepare for for the the smooth introduction of of self-certification system in in

7 2. Enhancing International Cooperation : Active Participation Start basic research for pursuing international standards harmonization : 2003 Research on on the the status status of of international harmonization regarding motor motor vehicle vehicle safety safety standards ** UN/ECE/WP29, APEC/VSHG Examination on on differences between domestic and and foreign foreign safety safety standards ** Structural & Device Device standards and and Test Test Procedures, etc. etc. Set Set the the harmonization plans plans Prepare for International Standards Harmonization : 2004 Build Build ECE ECE Regulation Data Data Base Base Accede to to Agreement and and pursue pursue standards harmonization of of 3 items items (Passenger Car Car Brakes, Rear Rear Under-ride protection, Front Front Fog Fog Lamps) 5

8 IV. Principles for Selecting Items for Harmonization Principles of Standards Harmonization Adopt all all the the GTRs Harmonize standards based on on ECE ECE Regulations Rules in selecting items for Standards Harmonization Give priority to to Passenger Car Car Select Items having less less impact on on Industries and and Transportation Environment Harmonize 4~5 4~5 Items Each Year 6

9 V. Current Situation of Standards Harmonization Harmonized Standards (2005) ** Passenger Car Car Brakes (ECE R13H) ** Front Fog Fog Lamps (ECE R19) ** Rear Under-ride Protection (ECE R58) ** Door Locks and and Retention (GTR No.1) 7

10 V. Current Situation of Standards Harmonization Passenger Car Brakes Front Fog Lamps Rear Underride Protection Door Locks and Retention Before Harmonization - Evaluate braking performance with braking distance only -Main luminous axis of beam must be lower than the center of illumination -Shall not illuminate outermost side of the motor vehicle -The center of illumination shall be higher than 25cm above the ground -Shall be designed to be operated independently from other lamps -Test Vehicle : Truck and special-purpose vehicles with more than 8 tons in GVW and 5 tons in Max. loading capacity -Installation Location : Based on the Vehicle width Based on FMVSS 206 After Harmonization -Subdivide braking performance test into vehicle classification, devices, road and driving conditions -Main luminous axis of beam shall illuminate towards the front -The lowest point of illuminating surface shall be higher than 25cm above the ground - Shall be designed to be operated independently from headlamps -Test Vehicle : Extended to Truck and specialpurpose vehicles with more than 3.5 tons in GVW -Installation Location : Based on the width of the outer wheel -Introduce back door -Strengthen sliding door 8

11 V. Current Situation of Standards Harmonization Research items for harmonization (2006) ** Head restraint (Proposed GTR) ** Speedometers (ECE R39) ** Lateral Collision (ECE R95) ** Tell-Tales (ECE R121) ** Semi-AFLS (ECE R123) 9

12 V. Current Situation of Standards Harmonization Head Restraint After Harmonization -To be harmonized after GTR is established -Introduce definition, installation and test standards regarding Head Restraint -Introduce back-set and non-use position -Strengthen height and dynamic test -Subdivide indication tolerance test of speedometer * Less than 45km per hour * 45km to 100 km per hour * Greater than 150 km per hour -Introduce test standards for currently massproduced -Introduce test standards for two-wheeled and three-wheeled motor vehicles -Introduce Euro SID-2 and -Honeycomb : progressive honeycomb -Add 11 more Tell-Tales standards resulting in 42 Tell-Tales standards Speedometers Lateral Collision Tell-Tales Before Harmonization - Based on FMVSS 202 -Indication tolerance test of speedometer shall be conducted at a speed greater than 25 km per hour -Dummy : Euro SID-1 -Honeycomb : Multilayer - 31 Tell-Tales standards 10

13 V. Current Situation of Standards Harmonization Reflection of Research Results into Domestic Safety Standards Head Restraint --Amend Amend domestic domestic safety safety standards standards through through adopting adopting Head Head Restraint RestraintGTR and and allow allow 3 year year deferred deferred period period after after revision revision Speedometers --Make Make a draft draft amendment amendment of of domestic domestic safety safety standards standards ( 07) ( 07) --Effective Effective Year Year ( 08) ( 08) Lateral Collision --Apply Apply new new honeycomb honeycomb standards standards in in Use Use old old and and new new dummy dummy model model concurrently concurrently for for 3~5 3~5 years years or or allow allow3~5 3~5 year year deferred deferred period period after after revision revision Tell-Tales --Amend Amend domestic domestic safety safety standards standards through through adopting adopting Tell-Tales Tell-Tales GTR GTR and and allow allow definite definite deferred deferred period period after after revision revision Semi-AFLS :: --Apply Apply amended amended standard standard regarding regarding curve curve test test road road in in

14 V. Current Situation of Standards Harmonization Plans for Standards harmonization in 2007 Safety Glazing Materials (ECE R43) Electromagnetic Stability (ECE R10) Motorcycles Brake Systems GTR Tyres (ECE R30 R30 & FMVSS 139) 139) Full Full AFLS(ECE R123) Daytime Running Lamp (ECE R87) 12
