International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) 1. Outline and expected benefits of IWVTA ○To enhance the mutual recognition of motor vehicle type approval based on the 1958 Agreement from “per Device” to “per Vehicle”.

Approval per Device

○To reduce costs to develop, approve and produce through unifying specifications and parts thanks to harmonization of technical regulations and mutual recognition of approvals. ○To promote the development of whole vehicle type approval system, which is harmonised with international system, in Asian and other emerging countries.

Approval as Whole Vehicle

2. Activities toward establishment of IWVTA Nov. 2007 Nov. 2009

Japan introduced the concept to establish IWVTA at UN/ECE/WP29.

Activities toward Establishment of IWVTA Task necessary for IWVTA ① Amendment of the1958 Agreement ② Development of UN R0 (tech. reg. of IWVTA) ③ Review of technical regulations applicable to IWVTA The major purposes of the revision of the 1958 Agreement are as follows. (1) Increase the attractiveness of the 1958 Agreement and also increase the number of Contracting Parties to the Agreement by; i) allowing to issue type approvals pursuant to earlier versions of a UN Regulations ii) allowing proxy voting (this still needs legal checking) (2) Improve the quality and the reliability of the 1958 Agreement by; iii) giving legal status to the guidelines related to the 1958 Agreement. (3) enable the implementation of IWVTA

Candidate of technical regulations and Guideline for GRs Proposal for “Candidate of technical regulations applicable to IWVTA” and “Guideline for GRs to review technical regulations applicable to IWVTA”. Working Document. WP29-156-21-Rev.1 PROPOSAL FOR “CANDIDATE ITEMS FOR TECHNICAL REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO INTERNATIONAL WHOLE VEHICLE TYPE APPROVAL (IWVTA)”AND “GUIDELINE FOR GRS TO REVIEW TECHNICAL REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO IWVTA” Submitted by the Chairman and the co-Chairmen of the WP.29 informal group on the future direction for the 1958 Agreement and IWVTA 1.The World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicles Regulations (WP.29), at its March 2010 session, decided to set up an informal group to establish an inventory of items to be addressed in a review of the 1958 Agreement and roadmap for future actions to be undertaken relating to i) the quality assurance of type approval, ii) its functional improvement, and iii) establishment of IWVTA. The inventory (list of elements to be addressed in the review of the 1958 Agreement) and the roadmap for the revision of the 1958 Agreement and introduction of IWVTA proposed by IWVTA Informal Group were approved by WP.29 at its 155th session in November, 2011. According to the roadmap, IWVTA Informal Group is to submit “candidate items for technical regulations applicable to IWVTA” and “guideline for GRs to review technical regulations applicable to IWVTA” to WP.29 at its 156 session for consideration. The target completion date for the work of the informal group shall be the 168th session of WP.29 in March 2016 as indicated in terms of reference (informal document No.WP.29-150-25) and as reflected in the roadmap (Annex 2 of informal document No.WP.29-155-27)

http://www.unece.org/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29gen/geninf156.html

Annex 1: Candidate items for technical regulations applicable to IWVTA(64 items)

I. Candidate items for technical regulations applicable to IWVTA 2.The informal group selected candidate items for technical regulations applicable to IWVTA in the following procedure. The information on national or regional technical regulations submitted by EU, Russia, South Africa, Australia and Japan was summarized on a list. National regulations were sorted into 4 categories of “A”,”B”,”C” and “n”. “A”s are those for which IWVTA Informal Group considers it appropriate to specify only one requirement as the international regulations. “B”s are those for which IWVTA Informal Group considers it appropriate to specify several requirements as the international regulations considering the characteristics of different regions. “C”s are those for which it is difficult to formulate justifications that they are appropriate as the international regulations. “n” means there are no national regulations for the subject. As a result of various discussions, the Chairman proposed the following approach to select technical requirements for IWVTA. (1) The subjects sorted into all “A” or “A + n” should be a basis for IWVTA and allocated to each GR for further consideration as indicated in Annex 3. (2) The subjects sorted into “A + B” should be allocated to each GR. Each GR is expected to explore the way to make a regulation to stipulate only one level of requirements wherever possible. (3) Non technical subjects should be considered by IWVTA Informal Group. (4) The subjects sorted into “C + n” should not be allocated to each GR, and their consideration should be stopped as they are considered to be inappropriate for IWVTA by IWVTA Informal Group. 3.The list of candidate items for technical regulations applicable to IWVTA is attached as Annex 1 to this document. Annex 2 is the same list of candidate items grouped into six GRs bearing responsibility for the items.

Current status of the revision of the 1958 Agreement IWVTA informal group presented a first draft proposal of the revised 1958 Agreement to WP29 in March 2013. Document. WP29-159-19

http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/doc/2013/wp29/WP29-159-19e.doc

Remaining issues(under discussion) 1. level of ambition with respect to the list of 50 action items previously endorsed by WP.29 as well as concerns and questions raised when discussing this list legal status of the so-called placeholder specifying the administrative provisions for the type approval procedure India and the Republic of Korea expressed their support 2. the possible need to change the condition of the formal adoption of a new Regulation or an amendment to an existing Regulation taking into account some Asian countries' opinion to change it from two-third to four-fifth majority of the Contracting Parties (CPs). 3. the exchange of Type-approval data and the role of DETA in this process -from six months to three months 4. the application of the Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement for self-certification purposes.

The IWVTA informal group will submit a final draft of the revised 1958 Agreement 13 to WP29 in November 2013.

Current status of the development of UN R0 The main result of the 5th Sub-group on UN R0 and the 12nd IWVTA Informal Group is as follows.

1. The Sub-group agreed that Explanatory Note (EN) is a note to explain UNR0 and reflects what SGR0 has agreed, and that important points which need further discussion would be added in the EN once the Sub-group reaches conclusions. 2. The Sub-group agreed to consider the following discussion papers at the next Sub-group meeting. (1) Rights and obligations of Contracting Parties applying UN R0 (2) Handling of If-fitted requirements (3) Clarification of IWVTA Step 1 (4) Q&A document to explain UN R0 (5) Update of the EN 3. Japan proposed the concrete image of IWVTA “Step 1” (a set of UN type approvals required for IWVTA + checkup of a complete vehicle to confirm its equipment with certified systems and parts + COP)

The IWVTA Informal Group will submit a first proposal on UN R0 to WP29 in November 2013.

Agenda 1. Introduction of International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) 2. Activity toward Establishment of IWVTA 3. Latest situation of IWVTA Informal Group Activity 4. Conclusion

16

Conclusion • IWVTA is beneficial for Governments in delivering transparent, robust and reliable processes for vehicle type approval; for industry by having access to quicker and more cost efficient type approval; and for consumers, who benefit from vehicles meeting uniform and consistent requirements at lower prices. • Further efforts toward the establishment of IWVTA in 2016 would be required, including ones in the review of technical regulations applicable to IWVTA • Japan would like to closely work with every stake holder in WP29 to further promote IWVTA activities.
