Submitted by OICA SGR 0 -13 -05 -appendix Consequences of a DOC procedure on the vehicle certification and registration process in Japan

Current certification & registration procedures in Japan Certification (1) Vehicle MFR obtains system approval based on the UN regulations (2) MFR obtains NTA using (1). Registration(3) MLIT sends the vehicle inspection certificate data information to MOTAS*1 (4) MFR sends the completion inspection certificate(equivalent to Co. C) to AIRAC*2 (5) AIRAC acts on the users’ request, provide completion Authority inspection certificate to registration office (6) Registration office checks completion inspection information (7) Vehicle inspection certificate is issued Vehicle MFR (1)UN Application form UN Approval /Certificate (2) NTA Application form (3) UN-R Approval /certificate MLIT NTA /Certificate (4) Vehicle Inspection Certificate data information (6) Registration office MOTAS*1 (7) Vehicle Inspection Certificate (5) completion inspection certificate AIRAC*2 completion inspection certificate *1 MOTAS: MOtor-car Total information Advanced System : Vehicle Inspection Certificate data base *2 AIRAC: Automotive Information Relay & Archive Center : completion inspection certificate data base

Future certification & registration procedures with IWVTA and DETA Authority Vehicle MFR (1) UN Application form (2) UN Approval /certificate (5) (3) IWVTA approval/certific ate IWVTA application form NTA approval/certificate MLIT Vehicle Inspection Certificate data information IWVTA approval/certific ate (11) (7) (8) (9) UN Approval/certific ate (4) IWVTA approval/certificate (6) UN Approval/ certificate Registration office MOTAS (12) Vehicle Inspection Certificate (10) completion inspection certificate AIRAC completion inspection certificate VIN Information *In fact, (11) and (12) are not necessary for registration because JPN use MOTAS information.

Current procedures from production start to registration Vehicle MFR e. g. distributors, dealers (approximately 6000) (2) (1) (5) logistics Frame number ：GRS 120 -0000001 (4) (3) Sales department - Vehicle Type (Katashiki) - Approval number - Frame number ： GRS 120 -0000001 Frame number ：GRS 120 -0000001 *1 Vehicle Inspection Certificate information ・ Vehicle type： DBA-GRS 120 ・NTA /certification number： 15789 ・Frame Number GRS 120 -0000001 ・Dimension defined in Japan ・mass defined in Japan ・ Fuel consumption value, . . . etc. completion inspection certificate AIRAC completion inspection certificate Frame number ：GRS 120 -0000001 MLIT Procedure is based on frame number Vehicle Inspection Certificate data information Registration office MOTAS Frame number ： GRS 120 -0000001 Vehicle Inspectio n Certificat e *1

Future procedure if the process would have to be based on ISO VIN Vehicle MFR e. g. distributors, dealers (approximately 6000) System amendment logistics Stamping machine modification - Vehicle Type (Katashiki) - Approval number - NTA number - VIN Sales department System amendment ・The Stamping machine needs to be modified at the production plant of the vehicle MFR ・The vehicle MFR needs to amend the system of development, production, logistics system regarding the vehicles designed for Japan for VIN stamping ・distributors from all over Japan need to amend the system regarding the system that uses sales, registration, control for the VIN stamping ・The DETA, AIRAC need to provide and manage the vehicle production information twice. System amendment completion inspection certificate AIRAC System amendment completion inspection certificate Vehicle inspection certificate information *1 DETA MLIT Registration office MOTAS VIN Information *2 *1 Possession information - Vehicle type - NTA number - Dimension defined in Japan - Mass defined in Japan - Fuel consumption value. . . Motor vehicle inspection certificate *2 Possession information - Vehicle Type VIN：JT 153 AEB 10305911 X - Approval information - VIN

Conclusions • DOC proposal is based on use of VIN number • Japanese registration process is based on frame number • Modification of the Japanese process would require changes in numerous systems and tools of manufacturers, distributors, and dealers – This would imply significant cost (x Billion Yen = yy Million €) – Modifications would have to be performed in a synchronized manner thus complicating the process • DOC adds significant complexity and cost without creating any benefits for the Japanese process • The concept should be reviewed and considered for introduction in conjunction with a later step of IWVTA implementation
