17 Aug 2016 Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 00 series and a proposal for the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 138 (Japan and OICA) GRB-64-03 2016-08-17 Proposal to refine the scope by replacing the phrase "can travel" by "can be propelled". The use of "travel" in the scope can be interpreted to include vehicles using using electrical systems for purposes other than propulsion (e.g., energy recuperation) that fall outside the test conditions of UN R138. The proposal further amends:<ol class="alpha"><li>Paragraph 2.7. to make clear the “pause function” refers to systems that allow the driver to deactivate an AVAS system;</li><li>Paragraph 6.2.6.: The vehicle operator shall not deactivate AVAS while driving. However, the manufacturer shall be enabled to activate or deactivate AVAS, including automatically, by regional coding according to legal provisions of various markets.</li><li>Paragraph 11.: the transitional provisions were added according to the rules of WP.29 for new series of amendments. Paragraph 11.6. has been added to maintain approvals that also comply with the new series of amendments, as is the case for vehicles that do not have a pause function according to the newly suggested paragraph 6.2.6.</li><li>Annex 1, Addendum to the communication form No …, Technical Information: technical information regarding “Pause switch (yes/no)” will be no longer necessary.</li></ol> Japan OICA

29 Mar 2014 Proposal for amendments to document GRE/2014/13 (Japan) GRE-71-27 2014-03-29 Document GRE/2014/13 proposes to ensure that the introduction of the new class F marking materials does not conflict with the mandatory requirements for existing class C materials. The addition of Class F brings markings required under certain countries' national legislation within the UN regulatory system. However, Japan actually prohibits the use of white retro-reflective markings on the rear of vehicles. Therefore, Japan proposes the addition of a footnote confirming the right of Contracting Parties to prohibit the use of Class F markings under national legislation. Japan
29 Mar 2014 Proposal for amendments to document GRE/2013/65/Rev.1 (Japan) GRE-71-28 2014-03-29 Document GRE/2013/65/Rev.1 proposes a new class F of marking materials designed with chevron type pattern to be applied to special utility vehicles or trailers not ordinarily covered by standard contour marking materials. The proposal also attempts to harmonize a number of national requirements. Japan, however, prohibits white retro-reflecting materials at the rear of vehicles for safety reasons. Therefore, Japan proposes to clarify that the approval of Class F retro-reflective markings is dependent upon their definition within national regulatory requirements. Japan

25 Feb 2016 UN R0 Pretesting: Issue Report concerning "Inconsistency between approval number and its extension number (MLIT and Japan) SGR0-19-12 2016-02-25 MLIT report raising concerns over the way approval numbers reflect the supplements covered. The draft Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement requires that each approval number include the applicable supplement number; however, the application for a change of the supplement number does not constitute application for an extension of the approval. As a result, the approval number will not be changed even if a different supplement comes into force, resulting in a product having a supplement number that is different from the actual number of the supplement in force. MLIT Japan
30 May 2016 UN R0 Pretesting: Issue Report concerning "Inconsistency between approval number and its extension number" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-19-12/Rev.1 2016-05-30 Updated MLIT report raising concerns over the way approval numbers reflect the supplements covered.

26 Feb 2016 UN R0 Pretesting: Issue Report on "Insufficient information on UN Regulations regarding the application types under IWVTA" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-19-13 2016-02-26 Under the draft IN R0, Annex 5, Part III requires applicants to furnish the list of type approvals, including approval number, upon which the whole vehicle approval will be based. UN R0 would allow for limited whole vehicle (L-IWVTA) approvals based upon compliance with some, but not all of the UN Regulations incorporated within UN R0. MLIT believes that the information requested under Annex 5, Part III is insufficient to understand whether an application for an L-IWVTA or a universal approval (U-IWVTA) is complete with regard to the equipment installed on the vehicle to be approved or whether applicant has simply failed to provide complete information. MLIT proposes adding a column for the applicant to briefly note a reason for omitting a regulation. Japan MLIT

27 Feb 2016 UN R0 Pretesting: Issue Report concerning "Exhaust emission and fuel consumption as features of a version" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-19-14 2016-02-27 Proposal to exclude exhaust emission level and fuel consumption from the definition of a version until the exhaust emission requirements and the fuel consumption requirements are added to Annex 4. The concern is that limits vary across Contracting Parties and changes to a CP limit would require issuance of an new version based upon a new application for IWVTA approval. Japan MLIT

27 Feb 2016 UN R0 Pretesting: Issue Report concerning "Treatment of approval certificates for bulbs" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-19-16 2016-02-27 Proposal to remove the requirements to provide approval certificates for bulbs used in lamp units because approval procedures for lamp units involve the testing of the units with bulbs that comply with the requirements. Therefore, the UN R0 requirement to provide approval certificates for both lamp units and the bulbs used in those units appears redundant. Japan MLIT
2 Mar 2016 Universal IWVTA concepts (Japan) SGR0-19-20 2016-03-02 Description of two approaches for the development of the international whole vehicle approval system either by beginning with a limited regulatory scope (with Contracting Parties specifying additional national requirements) or by beginning with an absolute universal IWVTA covering all applicable regulations with Contracting Parties using limited IWVTA for approvals that are narrower in coverage of underlying component regulations. Japan
30 May 2016 UN R0 pretest issue report "Scope of the same IWVTA type" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-20-11 2016-05-30 Report highlights that regulations under IWVTA may not apply equally to two vehicles of the same type; for example, application of high voltage protection provisions only to electrified vehicles, but not their ICE homologue. Japan MLIT
31 May 2016 UN R0 Pretest Issue Report: "Notification procedure when Annex 4 is amended" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-20-12 2016-05-31 Under the proposed international whole vehicle type approval, Annex 4 to the regulation would provide the list of component regulations. Annex 4 will be updated over time to incorporate new or updated regulations that comprise a whole vehicle approval. These changes in requirements will impact whether a vehicle has a universal or limited approval and will require communication between the holder of the approval and the issuing type approval authority; however, the obligations and procedures for maintaining this coordination are not spelled out in the UN R0 text. Japan proposes a manufacturer obligation to notify of the authority of its intentions when an amendment to Annex 4 would impact an existing approval in its possession. Japan MLIT
31 May 2016 UN R0 Pretest Issue Report: "Notification procedure when the particular item in the information folder is changed" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-20-13 2016-05-31 Proposal to clarify the procedure and information to be provided by the manufacturer in the event of a change to a whole vehicle approval type. Japan MLIT
31 May 2016 UN R0 Pretest Issue Report: "Extension/revision criteria" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-20-14 2016-05-31 When a series of amendments to any UN Regulation included in a whole vehicle approval is changed, it needs to be considered as an extension of approval to UN R0 even if the series of amendments to R0 remains unchanged. Therefore, the text of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement (Paragraph 7) should be changed to include the extension/revision criteria for UN R0. Japan MLIT
31 May 2016 UN R0 Pretest Issue Report: "Addressing changes between U-IWVTA and L-IWVTA" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-20-15 2016-05-31 Request for clarification on procedures in paragraphs 7.4 and 7.5 of the Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement. Japan MLIT

30 May 2016 UN R0 Pretest Issue Report: "Diversity of manufacturers under IWVTA and STA" (Japan and MLIT) SGR0-20-16 2016-05-30 Proposal to clarify that the component approvals underpinning a vehicle type approval do not have to have been issued to the same manufacturer, but that the responsibilities of the manufacturer applying for vehicle type approval to the type approval authority nonetheless remain intact. Japan MLIT
9 Sep 2016 UN R0 Pretest Issue Report: "Diversity of manufacturers under IWVTA and STA" (revised) (Japan) SGR0-20-16/Rev.1 2016-09-09 Proposal to clarify that the component approvals underpinning a vehicle type approval do not have to have been issued to the same manufacturer, but that the responsibilities of the manufacturer applying for vehicle type approval to the type approval authority nonetheless remain intact.

8 Mar 2017 Proposal to add a Q&A (#24) on the approach taken by a CP which accepts L-IWVTA (Japan) SGR0-23-06 2017-03-08 The question and answer document aims to clarify the operation of the international whole vehicle type approval system. This question would confirm that a Contracting Party may apply additional requirements taken from a UN Regulation beyond those regulations specifically required under a limited whole vehicle approval (L-IWVTA). The L-IWVTA partially applies the list of requirements for a "Universal International Whole Vehicle Approval" (U-IWVTA). A CP could list UN Regulations required for an L-IWVTA and then notify WP.29 of additional requirements taken from other UN Regulations. Japan
