Supporting Liberalization of Trade and Investment
JAMA advocates further strengthening of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) with ASEAN countries. It is believed that such
agreements will effectively complement bilateral and multilateral trade, investment liberalization, and other trade agendas under the
World Trade Organization (WTO).
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)
The government of Japan has already concluded EPAs with Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines and Vietnam. In
addition, an EPA with ASEAN as a whole has been signed as well.
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.
As the signing of EPAs promotes further growth of the ASEAN automotive industry as a whole, JAMA has been working to help achieve
the agreed-upon terms for the automotive industry sector under the EPA through mutual understanding with counterparts in ASEAN
countries and the promotion of cooperative projects.
JAMA looks forward to the further advancement of ASEAN-centered trade liberalization in the Asian region through the signing of new
bilateral EPAs with ASEAN countries, further strengthening of the terms of already concluded EPAs, and the promotion of inter-regional
EPA/FTAs such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
Promoting Regional Integration
Strengthening international competitiveness is necessary for further development of the ASEAN automotive industry in future. 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 (AMEICC-WGAI) 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.
At the 14th AMEICC-WGAI held in
February 2012, information and ideas
were exchanged concerning latest
status and future issues with respect to
harmonization of technical regulations
and market integration.
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:
• 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.
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 16th AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting held in Siem Reap in April 2012; updates included deliberations on revising the 1958 Agreement
in order to make it more attractive to ASEAN members who have yet to accede to the Agreement. According to experts, some
potential options considered by the WP29 IWVTA Informal Group include the recognition of earlier versions of UN Regulations,
reconsideration of the current voting system, separating specific UN regulations covering multiple subjects, and deeper
consideration of Asian needs.
As ASEAN seeks to make use of the 1958 Agreement’s UN Regulations in the development of its own MRA for parts and systems,
such information will be valuable to ASEAN members should they expand their MRA to whole vehicles in future.
Safety and Environmental Regulations
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. Based on the outcome
of the 12th ACCSQ-APWG held in Manila in 2010, thirteen regulations from Step 1 and 2 of the roadmap have been agreed to by
ASEAN Members States (AMSs) for adoption by 2015. Two other regulations from Step 2 are under consideration by AMSs as well. 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 expected to be finalized in 2012 and specific recommendations on
versions of the 19 UN Regulations to be adopted under the ASEAN MRA Draft.
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.

Recent years have seen increasing 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. 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 127 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 2012. This arrangement will initially target mutual ASEAN
recognition of 19 UN regulations set forth in the 1958 Agreement.
The following key benefits of the ASEAN MRA are expected to
contribute to strengthen the competitiveness of the ASEAN
automotive industry:
• Promoting safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles and parts.
• Simplifying certification procedures.
• Speedier sourcing of substitute parts and components during
natural disasters.
Mitsubishi
Nissan
As part of its intensifying efforts toward international harmonization
and mutual recognition, the Japanese government submitted a
proposal for an “International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)”
system at the UN/WP29 March 2010 meeting, where it was agreed to
by member countries. Implementation of the proposal (targeted for
2016) is currently under discussion.
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.
