2 JAPAN AUTOMOBILE STANDARDS INTERNATIONALIZATION CENTER SPEECH AT THE 7 TH ASIA EXPERT MEETING * Good Morning! General Leandro R. Mendoza, Secretary, Department of Transport and Communications, Ms, Anneli R Lontoc, Undersecretary for Road Transport, General Reynaldo I. Berroya, Assistant Secretary of Land Transport Office and ladies and gentlemen. My name is Tadaomi Akiba, Executive Director of Japan Automobile Standards Internationalization Center, JASIC. * On behalf of JASIC, I would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the people who are kindly taking part in this 7th Asia Expert Meeting which DOTC and LTO organize on a theme for Workshop on Motor Vehicle Type Approval. Also I am very pleased that DOTC and LTO accepted us, National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory (NTSEL) and JASIC as experts from Japan. On this occasion, I would like to introduce you one of activity of NTSEL. The Automobile Type Approval Test Department, one division of the NTSEL, is the only organization in Japan that performs official tests of Motor Vehicles about the conformity with safety, environment, fuel consumption and other standards of Japan from a fair and neutral standpoint. This department is only one technical service assigned by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in accordance with the rule of the 1958 Agreement. Accordingly the department has a great deal of knowledge on not only domestic type approval system but also international type approval system, therefore I expect that his participation can bring active discussion among participants concerned at this Expert Meting. * In your country, 4 th Asia Expert Meeting on "Accession to the1958 Agreement and Participation to WP29" was held in Manila in January, 2006, this meeting made most of participants been able to deepen understanding about an importance and need of accession to the 1958 Agreement. Additionally, LTO s participation in WP29 was realized as an observer in June of the year. Furthermore, in last November, Ms. Anneli R. Lontoc, Undersecretary of DOTC reported these activities at JASIC Asia Government and Industry (G/I) Meeting. It is no doubt that many participants from Asia countries in G/I were strongly impressed with the recent activity in your country for the past one year. * The common understanding on concept of the Expert Meeting is that the meeting is to be held voluntarily based on each country s needs as well as to be steered by Asia G/I Meeting. 1

3 JAPAN AUTOMOBILE STANDARDS INTERNATIONALIZATION CENTER At the G/I Meeting held in Jakarta in last November, it was evident that holding the Expert Meeting is very useful and helpful for the people examining the contents of the 1958 Agreement, ECE regulation as sole international technical regulations and Mutual Recognition of Approvals among Asian region. In fact, four countries, including your country have an intention to hold the Expert Meeting on the Accession to the 1958 Agreement this year. * I heard that all stake holders not only government organizations of transport, industry, environment and police but also academy and private sectors are invited in this meeting. All stake holders are expected to gain common recognition and deep understanding about the contents of the 1958 Agreement as well as Mutual Recognition of Approvals, besides I expect this meeting will be a trigger of agreement formation of direction toward accession to the 1958 Agreement and improvement of domestic regulation & type approval system. * As most of you may be aware, next G/I Meeting will be held in the Philippines in the end of November, where representatives from each country will discuss the harmonization of regulation and type approval system under 4 th series which aim is to discuss continuously "Accession to 1958 Agreement and improved Asian presence at WP29". I do hope that the outcome of this Expert Meeting will be informed at the G/I Meeting, and many government/ Industry people concerned will participate in the Meeting. * I would like to thank you again for the participation of so many government and industry members. Your presence here gives me confidence that interest in harmonization and the mutual recognition of approvals is growing in your country * Please feel free to take part in discussions today and tomorrow so that this Expert Meeting will prove beneficial in enhancing traffic safety and environmental protection in your countries. Now, I finish my opening address, hoping that the good friendship between you and JASIC will continue for a long time to come. Thank you very much for your attention.

8 WP29 : World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations TERMS OF REFERENCE OF WP.29 Initiate and pursue actions aiming at the harmonization or development of technical regulations or amendments to such regulations -Foster the reciprocal recognition of approvals, certificates and periodical technical inspections among Contracting Parties -Serve as the specialized technical body for the relevant Agreements established under the auspices of UN-ECE -Foster world-wide participation in its activities by encouraging cooperation and collaboration with countries not yet participating in WP.29 activities -Encourage all its participants to apply or adopt into their law world-wide harmonized technical regulations

9 Principal elements of 1958 agreement Constitution of 1958 agreement 1. Development/Amendment of Regulation for wheeled vehicle, equipment or parts 2. Technical Requirements and Test Methods 3. Conditions for granting type approval and their mutual recognition including approval markings and conditions for ensuring conformity of production Eligible to become contracting parties to the 1958 agreement Members of UNECE, Members of UN and REIO Administrative committee AC1 Summary ECE regulations (New and amendment) are established by Vote of two-thirds majority of contracting parties. Established ECE regulations enter into force within six-month

10 Principal Elements of 1958 Agreement-(1) Members of the UN-ECE, as well as other members of the United Nations and Regional Economic Integration Organizations that participate in UNECE activities, are eligible to become Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement. The 1958 Agreement seeks to establish Regulations for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted and/or be used on wheeled vehicles, and conditions for granting type approvals and their reciprocal recognition for use by Contracting Parties who choose to implement Regulations largely through type approval. The Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) is composed of all the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement. The Administrative Committee oversees the process of developing and amending Regulations and adopts the Regulations or amendments to the Regulations once they are developed. The Agreement does not preclude those countries whose rules and regulations are implemented through self-certification (manufacturer s certification) from becoming Contracting Parties, and it recognizes self-certification as an alternative to type approval.

11 Principal Elements of 1958 Agreement-(2) Under the Agreement, new Regulations and amendments to existing Regulations are established by a vote of two-thirds majority of Contracting Parties present and voting. The established Regulation is forwarded to the UN Secretary-General and then notified to each Contracting Party. The new Regulation or amendment to an existing Regulation enters into force for all Contracting Parties that have not notified the Secretary-General of their objection within six months after the notification, unless more than one-third of the Contracting Parties so object. If more than one-third of the Contracting Parties object, the Regulation or amendment does not enter into force for any Contracting Party. Regulations under the 1958 Agreement are required to include technical requirements and alternative requirements as appropriate; test methods by which performance requirements are to be demonstrated; the conditions for granting type approvals and their reciprocal recognition, including markings and conditions for ensuring conformity of production; and the date on which the Regulation enters into force.

12 Principal Elements of 1958 Agreement-(3) A Contracting Party that has adopted an UN-ECE Regulation annexed to the Agreement is allowed to grant type approvals for motor vehicle equipment and parts covered by that Regulation and is required to accept the type approval of any other Contracting Party that has adopted the same Regulation. The Agreement also permits a Contracting Party, upon notice, to begin applying a Regulation after it has been annexed to the Agreement or to cease application of a Regulation that it has been applying. In the latter case the Contracting Party is required to notify the UN Secretary-General of its decision one year in advance. Contracting Parties granting type approvals are required to have the technical competence to grant the approvals and the competence to ensure conformity of production(cop). Each Contracting Party applying the Regulation through type approval may refuse the approvals if the above-mentioned requirement is not met.
