第 13 回 JASIC アジア専門家会議 安全ガラス 日時 2008 年 7 月 2 日 9:00~14:00 場所インドネシア産業省 10F 会議室出席者約 70 名インドネシア : 産業省 運輸省試験場 ガラス協会 GAIKINDO 自動車およびガラスメーカー各社日本 :JASIC 一般安全分科会及び関係団体 ; 織田氏 ( 富士重工 ) 金井氏 ( 日本板硝子 ) 江村氏( セントラル硝子 ) 原氏( 板硝子協会 ) 辻村 (JASIC 事務局 ) 会議結果 R43 安全ガラス基準について技術的説明を行った結果 数多くの質問が寄せられ ある程度の理解が得られたものと考える キーノートスピーチにて 58 協定と98 協定の比較 ECE 規則の制定に対するJA SICの関与の仕方 ECE 規則の原文引用などについて説明した結果 高い関心が示され 今後のインドネシアの58 協定加盟やECE 採用に向けた活動の一助となることに期待する インドネシア側からは WP29 参加や58 協定加盟 ECE 採用に向けて取り組む旨が局長から表明された他 ガラス業界からはR43に対する業界の準備状況 ラボの能力などについて聞くことができ 有意義な会議となった 議事 1. 開会挨拶インドネシア産業省運輸通信機器産業局長これからのインドネシアの1958 年協定加盟とECE 採用に向け 有意義な会議であることと この会議への期待について講演 2. キーノートスピーチ JASIC 辻村 JASICと専門家会議の紹介 ECE 規則と1958 年協定 1958 年協定と1 998 年協定の相違 WP29での法規制定へのかかわり 原文引用などの日本のE CE 規則導入の手順 JASICの長期課題について講演 3. R43 一般事項 JASIC 辻村スコープ 認証要件 マーキング要件 COP 要件などについて説明
4. R43 車体取付け要件富士重工織田氏車体取付け要件として 車体取付け時の透過率の判定基準などを解説 5. R43ガラス単体要件日本板硝子金井氏ガラス単体要件として 衝撃試験 耐候試験などについて 試験法 試験機器 判断基準について解説 6. インドネシアの規制導入についてインドネシアガラス工業会インドネシア国内基準とR43との比較 R43 採用に向けた国内体制について説明 業界はR43 対応が可能で ガラス試験機関が複数有することが紹介された 質疑応答 1. 1958 年協定と1998 年協定のメリットは? 1958 年協定に加盟しECE 規則を採用することで加盟国間での相互承認が可能となり 自動車関係の流通が促進されるほか 国連の場で多くの専門家が関与して開発した最新の環境 安全基準を国内に採用することによって 自動車社会の向上が図られる 1998 年協定は アメリカ カナダなど1958 年協定に加盟していない国との技術的な対話が可能だが gtrはそのままでは法規にはならず 相互承認もないのでメリットは多くない gtrの技術要件がeceに取り込まれて初めて法規として運用され 相互承認によるメリットが生まれる 2. 1958 年協定だけ あるいは 1998 年協定だけに加盟している国はなぜ? 1958 年協定だけに加盟している国は ECE 規則には関心があるが gtrにはメリットを感じていないからでないかと推測する アメリカ カナダは自己認証制度を採用しており 1958 年協定の相互承認のスキームにそぐわないため 1998 年協定だけに加盟している 中国 インドも199 8 年協定だけに加盟しているが 両国とも1958 年協定への加盟に関心があり 将来は加盟する可能性がある 3. JASICの長期課題の国際車両認証制度に必要な基準は ミニマムかマキシマムか?
各国で相互承認をする上では 車両の安全 環境性能確保に必要なものであり 一般的にはこれを取り入れれば適切な車両の相互承認が実現できるというミニマムなもの 各国においては その国情から他に必要な基準が出てくるかもしれない 4. JASICの長期課題の国際車両認証制度は 日本および各国の認証制度に置き換えられるべきものなのか? 置き換えられなければ相互承認ができないので それを目指している 現在 JAS ICでは欧州 WVTAや日本のVTAなどを比較して 世界的に共通に使用できる最適なものを検討している 5. 国際車両認証制度のエレメントとは何か? 全体像はいつ固まるのか? 車両認証制度の運用において 手順や解釈などに各国間の相違があってはならないので まずそれらの関係する要素の国際的な理想形を追求している 全体像はその後になる 6. WP29 の公式言語は何か? 英仏露である 会議では同時通訳をイヤホンで聞くことができる 公式な書類は3 言語でリリースされている 7. 日本の原文引用の際に 英文法規を引用する問題はないか? 英文を読んで認証手続きをするという負担はあるが タイムリーに採用できるメリットが大きいので問題はない 8. COP のランダムサンプリングの方法とは? ランダムという意味の通りで 生産シフト モデルごとにランダムに抜き取ることである 9. COP における抜き取り頻度の基準になる単位は? 認証の型式ごとである ガラス単体の場合 試験項目により素材などでグループ化が可能なものもある
10. COP における抜き取り方法は定められているのか? 基本的な考えは1958 協定にあり R43 特有の各基準の抜き取り方法はAnne x20に定められている 11. 透過率の A B ゾーンの定め方は? アイポイント (V1,V2ポイント) から 実際に糸やレーザーで線を結んで決定する 12. インドネシアの業界 試験機関は R43 認証に対応可能な体制か? インドネシアのガラスメーカーには R43 認証を取得して欧州に輸出をしているものもあり 業界の能力は充分にある 試験機関では 国内基準の試験を行っているが R43と良く似た試験を行っているので R43の対応も難しくはない 13. インドネシアの R43 取得はどのようなラボで行うのか? WP29のドキュメント343には R43の認可証を受入れる国 認可証を発行する国 認可証の発行に当たり指定する試験機関が一覧になっている インドネシアが 1958 年協定に加盟した際は R43を採用するか否か R43に認可証を発行するか否か 発行する場合にどの試験機関のテストレポートを受入れるかについて判断することができ 試験機関は国内に限らず 複数の機関を指定することができる ラボを指定する際の判断基準として ドキュメント1059にある認証機関の要件を参照すると良い 以上
