Promoting Regional Integration
Strengthening international competitiveness is necessary for further future development of the ASEAN automotive industry. For
this, removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers, as well as the integration of ASEAN as a single market, will become necessary.
ASEAN continues to execute its ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint towards the goal of establishing the AEC by 2015. The
Blueprint aims to create: (1) a single market and production base, (2) strongly competitive regional development, (3) equitable
economic development, and (4) enhanced integration with the global economy. These efforts are making steady progress through
actions such as the enactment of ATIGA.
With the overall goal of strengthening the
competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive
industry, JAMA has been participating
in AEM-METI1 Economic and Industrial
Cooperation Committee Working Group
on the Automobile Industry (AMEICCWGAI) meetings, starting from the group’s
inception in 1998. With aims of bolstering
regional integration, enhancing
supporting industries, and ultimately
strengthening the competitiveness of
the ASEAN automotive industry, this WG
has been implementing programs such
as the Experts Dispatch Program, sending
Japanese experts to assist local auto parts
suppliers in developing manufacturing
technology, improving production and
quality control, and strengthening human resource development. The success of this program has enhanced prospects for increased
international competitiveness within the ASEAN automotive industry. JAMA will continue to work diligently to support the activities
of this WG.
JAMA Technical Experts Working Together with ASEAN Partners Towards More Comprehensive
Certification Systems and Safety / Environmental Regulations
Harmonization of Technical Regulations and Mutual Recognition of Approval (MRA)
To further promote auto industry development,
JAMA advocates the harmonization of technical
regulations and Mutual Recognition of
Approval (MRA) based on the United Nations
WP29 (World Forum for Harmonization of
Vehicle Regulations) 1958 Agreement, the
only international agreement providing a legal
basis for auto parts and systems. Under MRA,
contracting parties agree to mutually recognize
each other’s approvals without the need for
re-certification.
JAMA has been putting in great effort to
promote the 1958 Agreement in concert with
the Japanese Government in the past decade through the AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting1, Asian RACE meeting, JASIC Asia Government
and Industry Meeting2, ACCSQ-APWG Meeting3, as well as others. In 2006, Thailand and Malaysia successfully acceded to the 1958
Agreement, and other ASEAN countries have started to form national committees to work towards accession.
In anticipation of the worldwide trend heralded by the 1958 Agreement’s extension of MRA from auto parts/systems to whole
vehicles, in collaboration with the Japanese Government, JAMA has been promoting the concept of International Whole Vehicle
Type Approval (IWVTA) during WP29 discussions. JAMA experts provided discussion updates for ASEAN industry members during
the 18th AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting held in Luangprabang in February 2013; updates included deliberation on revising the 1958
agreement in order to facilitate recognition of certificates constituted by older versions of technical regulations, review of voting
systems, and plans for submitting the IWVTA proposal to WP29 in November 2013, with expected IWVTA completion in March 2016.
At the 14th AMEICC-WGAI held in March 2013, exchange of information and opinions concerning the latest status and future issues
with respect to the implementation of Self-Certification of Origin by authorized exporters, establishment of suitable policies and
procedures, harmonization of technical regulations, and market integration.
Given that the ASEAN MRA technical regulations for auto-parts and systems (to be established in 2015) are nearly substantial
enough to facilitate an MRA for entire vehicles (similar to the IWVTA), JAMA experts are encouraging ASEAN members to consider
participation in IWVTA Informal Group discussions and work in parallel towards a MRA for whole vehicles.
JAMA considers there to be four issues of prime importance as regards strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive
industry and further promoting regional integration, as follows:
Safety and Environmental Regulations
• Further promotion of trade facilitation (establishment of flexible and user-friendly Rules of Origin and certification systems,
simplification of customs procedures),
• Harmonization of technical regulations and promotion of Mutual Recognition of Approval,
• Improvements in fuel properties and harmonization of fuel specifications, and
• Strengthening of supporting industries, human resources and other related matters.
JAMA is dedicated to continuing to take proactive measures to enhance international competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive
industry and regional integration, including activities such as participation in AMEICC-WGAI.
Promoting Trade and Investment Liberalization
As trade and investment liberalization promotes further enhancement of the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry,
JAMA has advocated for the establishment of economic partnership agreement (EPA) between ASEAN and Japan. JAMA has
promoted cooperative projects under the EPA, further enhancing competitiveness.
Moreover, with respect to trade and investment liberalization in the APEC region, JAMA has been attending the APEC Automotive
Dialogue2, participating significantly in its activities. JAMA reported progress in the WP29 discussions for the establishment of
International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA), as well as contributed to the promotion of trade and investment liberalization
and the harmonization of technical regulations.
Through these activities, JAMA will continue to contribute to further enhancement of the competitiveness of ASEAN-centered trade
and investment liberalization in the Asian region.

ASEAN Economic Ministers-Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan)
Seeking to promote wider use of motor vehicles in society and support the mutual growth of the automotive industry in the Asia-Pacific region, the APEC Automotive Dialogue serves as a
forum for member economy officials and senior industry representatives from the automotive sector to discuss key issues. Results of the APEC AD will be reported to the Committee on Trade
and Investment (CTI) under the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting.
The development of harmonized certification systems in turn requires the harmonization of vehicle safety and environmental
regulations.
Although ASEAN governments aim to adopt the UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement as a basis for harmonizing safety
regulations, some regulations may be unsuitable for the ASEAN climate and thus require review. In view of assisting countries
in their adoption of UN Regulations, JAMA experts have worked to provide information to industry associations and authorities
through the presentation of updated studies on UN Regulations suitable for adoption within ASEAN.
Based on such studies, the AAF/TC3 has presented an updated roadmap for the adoption of UN Regulations to the 12th
ACCSQ-APWG held in Manila in 2010. In addition to this, during the July 2011 AAF/TC3-JAMA Special Meeting, JAMA experts
provided ASEAN automobile industry members with general recommendations regarding the ASEAN MRA Draft and specific
recommendations on versions of UN Regulations to be adopted under the ASEAN MRA Draft. Furthermore, in the February 2013
Luangprabang Meeting, with the help of JAMA experts, AAF/TC3 members consolidated an industry perspective on an ideal ASEAN
MRA for submission to the ACCSQ-APWG and respective authorities for consideration.
Environment (Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Properties)
To promote air quality improvement in ASEAN countries, JAMA fuel experts have drafted specifications for Euro 4 fuels along
with biofuel specifications for both ethanol and FAME4 that take into consideration Southeast Asian climates and vehicle usage.
In March 2010, these specifications were discussed and endorsed by AAF/TC3 members in the form of the AAF/TC3 Fuel Specs.
Although some fuel-related issues remain, in April 2012 AAF/TC3 members agreed to work towards expediting the adoption of Euro
4 emission regulations by 2012 - 2017 for all passenger cars and light duty vehicles and the availability of Euro 4 fuels in the market
prior to this date.

The societal demands on automobile performance aimed at
addressing global warming and air pollution issues as well as
enhancing safety for passengers and pedestrians on a global scale
have seen increasing. In order to best respond to these demands,
continued harmonization of regulations for vehicles and parts that
differ between countries as well as the promotion of the mutual
worldwide recognition of motor vehicles and parts are becoming
more and more important.
In 1958, an agreement on world-wide harmonization of technical
regulations for automobiles and mutual recognition of approval
of vehicle structures and equipment relating to safety and the
environment was adopted by the United Nations (known as the “1958
Agreement”). At present, 57 countries and one region have acceded
to the Agreement, with 131 UN regulations already developed under
its auspices. In addition, further efforts towards global harmonization
and mutual recognition are currently being undertaken within the
World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UN/WP29). As
part of its plans for achieving economic integration by 2015, ASEAN is
currently working toward establishing the ASEAN Mutual Recognition
Arrangement (MRA) to promote harmonization and mutual
recognition of motor vehicle technical regulations within the ASEAN
region by 2013. This arrangement will initially target mutual ASEAN
recognition of 19 UN regulations set forth in the 1958 Agreement.

by member countries. Implementation of the proposal (targeted for
2016) is currently under discussion.
Suzuki
IWVTA, originally based on a 1958 Agreement, advances mutual
recognition from the equipment and parts level to approval of
the “whole vehicle”. As IWVTA related efforts move towards the
establishment of a common international system, we look forward to
ASEAN participation within this framework.
Promotion of harmonization and mutual recognition will facilitate
bringing safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles to market and
will strengthen international competitiveness in ASEAN countries
where the growth of motorization is substantial. In view of this, JAMA
seeks to actively cooperate in efforts to establish the ASEAN MRA.
