本調査研究について

調査の目的

国際市場において、規制やガイドラインといったルールは国際機関あるいは各

国政府機関によって決められるが、ルール次第で競争条件は大きく影響を受け、

我が国企業のビジネス展開に与える影響は大きい。また、これまでは製品・サービ

スの技術開発が行われ市場に普及された後に標準化・ルール化が行われていたの

に対し、近年欧米を中心に、技術開発と同時に標準化・ルール化が行われている。

このような状況の中では、第 4次産業革命の時代を迎え、新市場の創造や技術の

社会実装のために、標準化の戦略的な推進が極めて重要になっている。そこで、

経済産業省におけるアジェンダ設定や標準化戦略に役立てるとともに、我が国

にとって望ましい国際標準開発に資する最新の情報を関係者にいち早く提供す

ることを目的とし、主要 4地域について、標準化に関連する政策・規制の動向や

標準化機関の動向などに関する情報収集を狙いとした調査を行う。

本報告書は、平成 30 年 7 月以降、平成 31 年 2 月末までの公開情報に基づく。

Overview of AFNOR noise and acoustic standards [Transportation]

On October 12, AFNOR released an overview of current voluntary standards

on noise and acoustics and those that are in progress. In particular, it noted

the recently published standard, NF S31-200, on measuring noise and

acoustics of transport and shipping activities. In addition, voluntary

standard NF S31-199 provides factors to consider in acoustic development in

workspaces through an assessment questionnaire. There is a goal to release

an international standard through the International Organization for

Standardization based on the 2016 NF S31-199 by 2020. New AFNOR

voluntary standards and guidelines on noise in restaurants and bars and

TIA, an ANSI member and accredited standards developer, has published a

new position paper on Edge Data Centers (EDCs). The paper compares

requirements and considerations for EDCs to those for traditional data

centers, covering planning, design, development, operations, and

maintenance needs. TIA’s Edge Data Center Working Group has been

working in developing reference architectures, guidelines, best practices, and

industry standards for this new addition to the communications infrastructure.

It follows the view that building and scaling data centers closer to where

information is demanded will soon be critical to meet the needs of new

technology such as new Internet of Things devices.

The United States weighs in to define new international standard

for consumer privacy by design [Privacy Protection]

ANSI draws relevant stakeholders’ attention to the recent press release, U.S.

to Help Define New International Standard for Consumer Privacy by Design,

issued by OASIS, a member-driven standards body. The press release states

that many of America’s leading companies and government agencies are

collaborating to help define the new international standard for “Consumer

Protection: Privacy by Design,” which will be part of ISO Project Committee

317. As one of 12 countries with Participant status in the committee, the

United States will be represented by its Technical Advisory Group (TAG),

administered by ANSI.

According to Rick Parker of KPMG, the chair of the U.S. TAG to ISO Project

Committee 317, “ISO/PC 317 will complement the efforts of the European

GDPR standard aiming to aid in prevention of data breaches while giving

consumers more control over the use of their data.” He added, “[b]y being

involved from the outset, the U.S. can be sure that this international standard

is practical, well-conceived, and adoptable across complex organizations.”

The first meeting of the committee will be held in London, November 1-2,

2018.

ANSI Accepted as Member of the International Accreditation

Forum (IAF) Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA)

[Conformity Assessment]

ANSI recently added two new programs to the IAF MLA. Earning

recognition by IAF demonstrates that ANSI accreditation conforms to global

requirements for accreditation bodies (ISO/IEC 17011). It gives further

credibility to ANSI as an accreditation body because certifications offered

by a signatory of the IAF MLA provides acceptance on a global basis and

enhances opportunities – many entities such as governmental agencies,

scheme owners, and suppliers only accept certifications that are accredited by

an IAF MLA signatory.

The addition of the two new programs followed the expanded international

recognition of the regional Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC)

for these scopes and ANSI’s recognition there as an MLA signatory several

years ago. The APAC is an association of accreditation bodies and other

interested parties that are established and operate in the member economies

of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). ANSI became a

signatory to the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (PAC, a predecessor of the

APAC) MLA for validation/verification of emissions in June 2014, and for

the certification of persons in June 2016. The PAC’s objectives are to

99

facilitate trade and commerce among APEC economies, within the system of

global recognition of programs for conformity assessment.

together in this form of alliance in 2014 and have been using the ANSI

standard development process to develop a consensus-based American

National Standard for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) in the dietary

industry. GRMA is also working to develop standards relating to other

aspects of the supply chain – including raw materials, warehouse and

distribution, and packaging and labelling – as well as other product categories

such as cosmetics, over-the-counter drugs, and medical devices.

At the event in December, over 60 attendees received updates on, among

others, current standards and conformity assessment-related efforts to address

quality and related issues. Brief remarks were also made by representatives

of key alliances and initiatives in the dietary supplement space – the

Supplement Safety & Compliance Initiative (SSCI), the Council for

ANSI intends to support China implement its finalized version of

Management Regulation for Association Standards [International

Cooperation]

On January 9, 2019, the Chinese Standardization Administration (SAC) and

the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) jointly released the final version of the

Management Regulations for Association Standards (“the latest regulation”)

while President Xi Jinping’s administration focuses on rebalancing and

stabilizing the market liberalization in economic reform. Noting certain

ambiguity in the latest regulation, ANSI intends to work closely with its

Chinese counterparts to promote implementation in an open, fair, and

transparent manner.

The latest regulation, which serves as principal guidelines that lay out a

groundwork for China to deepen its standardization reform, is comprised of

five chapters to establish a new and streamlined process that aims to make

easier for the formulation, implementation, and supervision of association

standards.

ANSI noted that several challenges remain in the latest regulation. It

identified the ambiguity in defining “association standards” and outlining the

circumstances and process when the conversion of association standards is

allowed as two notable challenges.

ANSI seeks private-sector input and participation for U.S.-China

Standards and Conformity Assessment Cooperation Program

[International Cooperation]

As a part of its effort to implement Phase V of the U.S.-China Standards and

Conformity Assessment Cooperation Program (SCACP), ANSI is seeking

private-sector input regarding industry concerns and commercial

opportunities that are impacting the standardization community.

Following its work on implementing Phase III and IV of the SCACP, ANSI

was awarded in April 2018 a contract by the U.S. Trade and Development

Agency (USTDA) to implement Phase V of the program. The fifth phase

strives to continue to help companies create U.S. jobs through the export of

U.S. goods and services for priority development projects in emerging

economies. Each phase of the U.S.-China SCACP features 20 seminars and

workshops mostly in China over a three-year period, covering a wide range

of topics related to standards and conformity assessment that impact U.S. and

Chinese industry. The aim of the SCACP is to provide a forum for through

which U.S. and Chinese industry and government representative can achieve

the following:

Cooperate on issues related to standards, conformity assessment

and technical regulations;

Foster the relationships necessary to facilitate U.S.-China

technical exchange on standards, conformity assessment and

technical regulations; and

Exchange up-to-date information on the latest issues and

developments relating to standards, conformity assessment and

technical regulations.

ANSI’s initiatives in facilitating cooperation between the United States and

other countries concerning standards and conformity assessment are not

limited to its efforts in China. For example, ANSI works with USTDA and

the Confederation of Indian Industry – a nonprofit business association in

112

India – to advance the U.S.-India Standards and Conformance Cooperation

Program, the current phase (i.e., second phase) of which includes six

workshops in India for U.S. and Indian industry and government

representatives to discuss standards and conformity assessment practices.

In 2017, Congress tasked NIST to report on what it would take to achieve

immediate occupancy performance codes and standards for all buildings in

all types of natural hazards, specifically in terms of fundamental research

needs, possible technological applications based on that research and key

strategies that could be used to implement any resulting regulations. NIST

towards creating an action plan across the nation with coordinated detailed

research goals and implementation activities, its authors’ state.

By improving standards and codes for the construction of residential and

commercial buildings, it would help avoid catastrophes as they could build

Commercial ventures seeking to profit from nanoparticles face quality control

issues that, if unaddressed, can reduce efficiency, increase production costs

and limit commercial impact of the products, which highlights the importance

of overcoming these obstacles collectively.

Error in industry-standard calibration method discovered

[Calibration error / Microchip]

A new study by scientists at NIST has uncovered a source of error in an

industry-standard calibration method that could lead microchip

manufacturers to lose a million dollars or more in a single fabrication run.

Many companies are re-examining their practices in light of this publication,

which provides theoretical explanations for the source of RoR flow

measurement errors. The theory guides designers of RoR collection tanks,

demonstrates easy-to-apply correction methods, and provides a model

uncertainty analysis to know what level of agreement to expect between

MFCs calibrated on different RoR systems.

For many years, the ROR readings did not agree with results obtained with

NIST’s “gold standard”, coming to the conclusion that the results can have

NIST scientists designed a vacuum gauge that helps semiconductor

and microchip manufacturers [Quantum Industry, Semiconductor]

NIST scientists have designed a vacuum gauge that is small enough to deploy

in commonly used vacuum chambers. It requires no calibration, depends on

fundamental constants of nature, reports the correct quantity or none at all,

and has specified uncertainties that are suitable for its application – in other

words, it meets the criteria of the International System of Units (SI)

concerning quantum phenomena.

The new portable system is the result of a NIST project to create a tabletop

cold-atom vacuum standard (CAVS) that will be used to make measurements

of fundamental atomic properties. The portable version of CAVS is called

p-CAVS.

Having the capability of measuring and controlling vacuum level at about one

hundred-billionth of the air pressure at sea level (or more) is essential for

many semiconductor fabricators and microchip manufacturers. For

example, the vacuum chambers in which microchip manufacturers lay down

a series of ultrathin layers of chemicals step by step – a process that must be

utterly free of contaminants – operates in such level of air pressure.

According to the researcher who oversees the project, “p-CAVS will enable

researchers and manufacturers to accurately determine the vacuum level

before the experiment or process begins … and will also allow lower levels

of vacuum to be accurately measured––levels which are becoming more and

more important in areas such as quantum information science.”

Affirmative votes to redefined kilogram and three additional basic

International System of Unites (SI) have been casted [SI, Pharma]

On November 16, 2018, a convocation of delegates representing 60 countries

voted to redefine the kilogram, ampere (electric current), kelvin

(temperature), and mole (amount of substance). The new definitions will be

effective on May 20, 2019.

Regarding the redefinition, a longtime researcher and supervisor at NIST

stated, “[w]e can now measure everything more accurately using knowledge

of how the universe operates at the atomic level than we can using objects we

can see and feel.” The current definition of kilogram relies on an artifact

made of platinum-iridium so-called Le Grand K, which is secured in a vault

outside Paris. Like any alloy, the artifact may change over time by

absorbing molecules from the air or losing them through cleaning. The new

definitions will be based on combinations of natural constants such as the

speed of light and the Planck constant in addition to equations of quantum

mechanics.

While impacts of the changes in definitions may not be immediately apparent

for consumers and many industries, scientists expect that they will inspire

new technologies and reduce cost of calibrating industrial processes and

scientific instruments. According to the NIST researcher and supervisor

referenced above, the pharmaceutical sector will most likely be one of sectors

to benefit fastest from the changes. Once the kilogram is redefined in

quantum terms, pharmaceutical companies will gain a measurement unit that

124

is smoothly scalable down to the level they need for better drug design and

study, with far less uncertainty.

NIST collaborates with the National Research Council (NRC

Canada) to tackle the important question relating to stability of

precision masses [SI, Calibration]

A scale used at a grocery store or a laboratory must be calibrated regularly to

ensure a pound of material really weighs a pound, for which consumers

ultimately rely on mass artifacts – pieces of metal, the mass of which has been

precisely measured. Weight of those artifacts, however, are prone to change

when they are freshly cut out of bigger metal materials such as metal rods

because they absorb molecules from their environment, which usually stops

or slow down significantly at some point. There is some disagreement

among scientists as to how long one needs to wait before being able to put a

new artifact into service. NIST and NRC Canada are working with

measurement laboratories in different countries to come up with a better

answer to this question.

The collaborative work involves 60 nominally identical one-kilogram

weights. About half of these 60 units have been distributed to 29 countries

within a network of national metrology institutes located in North, South and

Central America, as well as island nations. These laboratories will monitor

and measure the artifacts and send relevant data to NIST and NRC Canada

for a year or more.

Kilogram artifacts are still expected to be used in many applications,

including disseminating the new mass standard, even after May 20, 2018,

when the new definition of mass will come into effect.

NIST’s recent test results suggest that a certain class of sensors can

be used in high-radiation environments [Photonic Sensor, Food,

Medical Equipment]

NIST researchers have published test results indicating that photonic sensors,

which are used to gauge many things including pressure, distance, magnetic

fields, environmental conditions, can be used in high-radiation environments.

While photonic sensors are attractive because of their small size, low power

consumption, and tolerance of environmental variables such as mechanical

vibration, the general consensus has been that high levels of radiation would

modify the optical properties of their silicon, leading to incorrect measures.

According to a project scientist at NIST, NIST’s recent test results suggest

that, for a certain class of devices and radiation, the modification to the

sensors would be negligible.

The implication of the test results is that the sensors could be used to track

levels of ionizing radiation used in food irradiation to destroy microbes and

in medical device sterilization. The sensors also have potential applications

in medical imaging and therapy. For example, they are expected to advance

clinical medicine, in which physicians strive to treat cancers and other

conditions with the lowest effective levels of radiation.

NIST’s newly issued draft green paper addresses the United States’

research and development (R&D) on modernization of technology

transfer and innovation [Technology Transfer, R&D]

On December 6, 2018, NIST released a draft green paper that details steps to

modernize the U.S. system of technology transfer and innovation for the 21st

century. It addresses maximization of returns on the taxpayer investment in

R&D––the United States spends over USD 150 billion each year in federally

funded R&D alone.

In particular, the green paper addresses the following five areas, all of which

are in line with the five strategies outlined in the Lab-To-Market Cross

Agency Priority (CAP) Goal of the President’s Management Agenda:

reducing regulatory and administrative burdens, increasing private sector

engagement, entrepreneurship in R&D, new tech transfer tools, and

measuring effectiveness.

According to the Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, “[t]he steps outlined

in this new report are strong proposals to pave the way for the competition-

driven technological advances that are the cornerstone of American success.”

127

The draft green paper, which is a discussion document but not a commitment

or decision by the federal government, was developed based on broad inputs

from the public and key federal stakeholders and extensive review of prior

reports and studies related to federal R&D technology transfer.

NIST’s antenna evaluation method could help boost 5G network

capacity and cut costs [5G]

Researchers at NIST have developed a method for evaluating and selecting

optimal antenna designs for future 5G cellphones, other wireless devices, and

base stations. The method focuses on antenna beamwidth, which affects

wireless system design and performance. NIST’s new measurement-based

method allows system designers and engineers to evaluate the most

appropriate antenna beamwidth for real environments. As having antennas

that can form unusually narrow beams could be the key for the success of 5G

systems, the development of this new measurement-based evaluation method

is an important step for the initial network design.

The results of this first detailed measurement-based study of how antenna

beamwidth and orientation interact with the environment to affect millimeter-

wave signal transmission – the frequency bands that 5G systems are expected

to be using – confirm that narrow beams can significantly reduce signal

interference as well as delays and that an optimized beam orientation reduces

energy loss during transmissions.

NIST worked with Japan’s National Research Institute of Fire and

Disaster (NRIFD) for a special fire test focusing on thatched-roof

(gassho-zukuri) buildings [Fire Prevention]

NIST and Japan’s NRIFD performed the first-ever tests to study the firebrand

– the airborne, glowing embers released by an outdoor fire – vulnerabilities

of thatched roofs, which is used for Japanese buildings with “gassho-zukuri.”

According to NIST’s mechanical engineer, while “wind-driven embers are a

128

major contributor to the spread of fire from structure to structure” in the case

of wildfires spreading into urban areas in the United States or urban fires

following earthquakes in Japan, there had been no quantifiable measurement

of how that occurs prior to these tests.

The mechanical engineer said that the findings of the new study will initially

be used by NRIFD to help Japanese fire services to develop effective

countermeasures to protect thatched-roof structures from urban fires

spreading through firebrands. It is expected that the knowledge will also

help other areas where thatched-roof structures still exist, such as Denmark,

England, France, Germany, and Southeast Asia.

JILA researchers uncover quantum structure of buckyballs

[Quantum Computer]

Researchers at JILA, a joint program between NIST and the University of

Colorado Boulder, have been able prepare – for the first time in the history –

buckyballs in a cold and gaseous form to analyze their rotations and vibrations

at the quantum level. It is the largest molecule that has ever been analyzed

at this level of experimental detail in the history of quantum mechanics.

The buckyball, a spherical cage of 60 carbon atoms, is small enough to be

fully understood with basic quantum mechanics principles. Yet it is large

enough to reveal insights into the extreme quantum complexity that emerges

in huge systems. It is expected that fully understanding and controlling this

molecule’s quantum details could lead to new scientific fields and

applications, such as an entire quantum computer contained in a single

buckyball.

NIST identified 26 cryptographic algorithms for potential

standardization in anticipation of development of quantum

computers [Quantum Computer]

Quantum computers are still in their infancy, but once they become available,

they could render many of conventional encryption methods useless and risk

sensitive electronic information for exposure. As the latest step in its

program to develop effective defenses, NIST has identified 26 cryptographic

algorithms as a group of potential encryption tools. These algorithms have

been submitted to its Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization project,

the goal of which is to create a set of standards for protecting electronic

information from attacks by the computers of both tomorrow and today.

Several steps that were taken in the past culminated in the identification of

the 26 algorithms. In April 2016, NIST released a report on the status of

quantum-resistant cryptography, following which it called to the public to

submit post-quantum algorithms that potentially could resist a quantum

computer’s onslaught in December 2016. Through collecting submissions

from the public and working with the larger cryptography community, it

received 69 submissions, which were later narrowed down to 26.

Moving forward, NIST will focus on evaluating the submissions’

performance across wide variety of systems, given that so many different

devices will need effective encryption.

Indonesia Hosts ICES 2018 Conference on Strengthening Education of

Standardization [Training]

On July 3-5, 2018 the Conference of the International Cooperation about

Education in Standardization (ICES) and the Academic Day of the World

Standards Cooperation (WSC) of the IEC, ISO and ITU was held in Yogyakarta,

Indonesia. The ICES 2018 Conference is an international forum for the

exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experience on the latest development in the

field of standardization and standardization education among researchers and

practitioners.

During the conference, the Head of the National Standardization Agency of

Indonesia (BSN), Mr. Bambang Prasetya, noted that BSN cooperates with 51

universities across the country on standardization education. Standardization

education materials are taught at three universities in Indonesia: Trisakti

University in the master program of quality and standardization; Bogor

Agricultural University (IPB) with elective courses at the Faculty of Fisheries

and Maritime Affairs; and the University of Jember with standardization courses

in master program management.

Despite the above programs, Mr. Prasetya stressed that Indonesia still faces

several challenges in standardization education, such as an ill-defined

understanding of the importance of standardization from a theoretical and

academic perspective; standardization is not considered a priority; general lack

of awareness among universities; and lack of teaching materials.

Malaysia Develops Standards for Blockchain Technology as Part of Fourth

Industrial Revolution Policy [Blockchain]

On October 19, 2018, Director-General of Department of Standards Malaysia

(“Standards Malaysia”) Datuk Fadilah Baharin revealed that Standards Malaysia is

in the process of drafting 10 new standards for blockchain technology, three of

which are expected to be implemented by 2019. According to DG Fadilah, the

first three standards will define terminologies used in the blockchain system as well

as set benchmarks on contracts in the blockchain environment. Currently,

Malaysia has no specific regulations governing blockchain technology. Once

implemented, the new standards will leverage Malaysia for the development of

cryptocurrencies and other related areas, which may use blockchain technology in

the future.

Notably, the development of new standards for blockchain technology is part of the

government’s Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) policy. Under 4IR, focus has been

given to industrial standards affecting seven industries, which are defined as “pace

setters” or industries where Malaysia has the right skills and know-how. These

industries involve automotive, food processing, chemicals, petroleum and

pharmaceuticals, electrical and electronics, financial services, telecommunications

and courier services, and information technology (including blockchain technology,

artificial intelligence, and internet of things).

Deloitte Calls for New Standards for Initial Coin Offerings [Blockchain]

On October 4, 2018, the Singapore Business Times reported that new standards

and regulations to regulate Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are needed as regulations

have not kept up with the new digital architecture. ICOs involve the creation of

digital tokens using blockchain technology for sale to the public. The digital

279

tokens are essentially a ‘smart contract’ with customizable rules to govern how

the tokens will operate. According to Deloitte Singapore, new accounting rules

are evolving to deal with ICOs, which will require new standards, frameworks and

possibly regulations, as opposed to the current practice, which involves the

application of existing accounting standards that were written before the creation

of blockchain. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)’s Fintech

Regulatory Sandbox could play a role in the further development of ICOs.

protocol: Functional data and their schematic representation for process

plants); and aim to ensure better quality and process stability in managing

product life cycle (e.g., ISO 16355-1:2015 Application of statistical and

related methods to new technology and product development process – Part 1:

General principles and perspectives of Quality Function Deployment (QFD)).

4. Automation – aim to assist put in place new technologies, such as 3D printing

and collaborative robots, in a safe way (e.g., TR ISO TS 15066:2016 Robots

and robotics devices – Collaborative robots).

5. Connectivity – aim to enable connectivity between sensor networks (e.g., IEC

62601:2015 Industrial networks – Wireless communication network and

communication profiles); and aim to implement good practices for

cybersecurity in operation (e.g., TR 64: 2018 Guidelines for Internet-of-

Things security for Smart Nation).

6. Intelligence – aim to use data captured from machines to improve processes

(e.g., ISO 18435-3:2015 Industrial automation systems and integration –

Diagnostics, capability assessment and maintenance applications integration

– Part 3: Applications integration description method).

Monetary Authority Releases Principles on Use of AI in Financial Sector

[Artificial Intelligence]

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has released the Principles to

Promote Fairness, Ethics, Accountability and Transparency (FEAT) in the Use of

Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Singapore’s Financial Sector. The

twelve-page document sets forth a set of generally accepted principles for the use

of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics in decision-making in the

provision of financial services and products. The objectives of the principles are

to provide financial firms with a set of foundational principles and ethical

standards to consider when using AI in decision-making, to assist firms in

contextualizing and operationalizing governance of use of AI in their business

models, and to promote public confidence and trust in the use of AI. The

principles are to be considered complimentary to existing internal governance

frameworks and The MAS developed the principles in collaboration with the

Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) and the Infocomm Media

Development Authority (IMDA).

In a related development, the Singapore Advisory Council on the Ethical Use of

AI and Data held its inaugural meeting in early December. Participants

discussed a paper released in June by the PDPC on the responsible development

and adoption of AI and called for broader engagement and consultation to improve

the draft model framework.

Singapore Launches Model AI Governance Framework for Public

Consultation [AI/Smart Nation]

On January 23, 2019, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of

Singapore published the Model Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance

Framework for pilot adoption and public consultation and feedback. This is the

first such framework to be developed in Asia, which aims to provide a detailed set

of guidelines to private sector organizations on ethical and governance issues

related to the deployment of AI solutions. The Model Framework was formally

launched on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos,

Switzerland.

The Model Framework maps out the key ethical principles and practices that apply

to common AI deployment processes in four areas: (i) internal governance

structures and measures; (ii) risk management in autonomous decision-making;

(iii) operations management; and (iv) customer relationship management. The

Model Framework supports responsible AI innovation and aims to mitigate the

various risks and challenges associated with AI deployment. The overall goal is

for AI processes to be explainable, transparent and fair and that AI is used

positively to enhance human capabilities and interests.

The IMDA will also collaborate with the WEF’s Center for the Fourth Industrial

Revolution (C4IR) to develop a measurement matrix for the Model Framework

that regulators and certification bodies globally can adopt and adapt for their use

in assessing whether organizations are responsibly deploying AI. The two

organizations will also develop a discussion paper outlining policy options on the

facilitation of cross-border data flows under the collaboration.

Organizations are invited to explore, understand and adopt the Model Framework.

Feedback is welcome, and can be sent to [email protected].

Enterprise Singapore Develops Provisional National Standards to Guide

Industry in Development of Fully Autonomous Vehicles [Autonomous

Vehicles]

On January 31, 2019, Enterprise Singapore published Technical Reference 68 (TR

68) to promote the safe deployment and development of fully autonomous

vehicles in Singapore. This set of provisional national standards was developed

over the past year with guidance from the Singapore Standards Council’s (SSC)7

Manufacturing Standards Committee. TR 68 is available for purchase from the

Singapore Standards eShop site.

Four working groups composed of representatives from the autonomous vehicle

industry, research institutions, institutes of higher learning and government

agencies developed standards covering four key areas of deployment: (i) vehicle

behavior, (ii) vehicle functional safety, (iii) cybersecurity, and (iv) data formats.

The SSC, Land Transport Authority, and Singapore Manufacturing Federation-

Standards Development Organisation (SMF-SDO) engaged with foreign experts

as well in the formulation of TR 68. The SMF-SDO plans to hold a workshop

to help industry understand and implement TR 68.

Industry groups will continue to provide feedback on TR 68 as autonomous

vehicle technology matures over time. The feedback gathered will be used to

review TR 68 as it is eventually expanded to cover other aspects of AV

development and deployment.

7 The SSC approves the content of Singapore Standards and Technical References before they are published, and

advises Enterprise Singapore on the directions, policies, strategies and priorities for the Singapore

Standardisation Programme.

Thailand Amends Certain Provisions under Agricultural Commodity

Standard Act to Facilitate Trade [Legislation]

On December 28, 2018, the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives published its

amendments to the Agricultural Commodity Standard Act in the Royal Government

Gazette. The amendments cover minor changes to the scope of responsibilities of

298

the Agriculture Minister, the issuing procedures of ministerial regulations to impose

mandatory standards, and the certification procedures for mandatory standards.

In particular, the amendments allow the Minister to exempt the requirement of

mandatory standards for imports of agricultural products, should such imports be

necessary for the immediate benefits of the country. In addition, the Minister is

allowed to grant an approval for the Bureau of Standard and Conformity

Assessment to automatically recognize other countries’ standards and conformity

assessment without actual assessment.

The objectives of the amendments are to facilitate agriculture trade, remove non-

tariff barriers, and reduce unnecessary procedures for obtaining mandatory

standards. The amended Act will come into force 90 days after the publication in

the Royal Government Gazette or on March 27, 2019.

Thai Customs Publishes Additional List of Products subject to Standard

Requirements and Online Customs Clearance under National Single

Window with TISI [Regulation]

On January 9, 2019, Thai Customs issued Notification 6/2562 (“Notification 6”) to

publish an additional list of products subject to standard requirements, and which

300

are now required to undergo electronic customs procedures under the National

Single Window (NSW) with the Thai Industrial Standard Institute

(TISI). Previously, traders had to obtain relevant Thai industrial standards (TIS)

from the TISI and then submit permits received by the TISI to Thai Customs for

customs clearance. Notification 6 includes certain products of interest classified

under HS 8708.70.21, 8708.70.22, 8708.70.23, and 8708.70.29.

Implementation of Notification 6 is part of the operationalization of the NSW by

Thai Customs. Details of the NSW procedures are as follows:

Traders must contact the TISI to obtain an online permit for importation or

exportation of products listed in Notification 6. Once received, the

electronic customs system will verify such permit and its corresponding tariff

classification.

If correct, traders will be allowed to undergo customs clearance. Under this

NSW system, traders are no longer required to submit paper documents

including permits granted by the TISI for products listed in this Notification.

Instead, traders must fill in the import or export declaration form online.

Such forms include a specific section on “Import/Export Declaration Detail

(Permit).” In this section, traders must fill in “Permit Number,” “Issue

Date,” and “Permit Issuing Authority Tax Number.”

The electronic customs system will verify such information against other

fields including “Company Tax Number,” “Arrival Date,” “Effective Date,”

“Expiry Date,” “Invoice Number,” “Invoice Date,” “Invoice Item Number,”

“Discharge Port”/”Load Port,” and “Country of Destination/Country of

Origin.”

If correct, Thai Customs will approve the import or export declaration. This

marks the completion of the customs clearance process.

The implementation of the NSW system is a necessary step towards joining the

ASEAN Single Window (ASW) system, which will combine the NSWs of all

ASEAN Member States – one of the goals of the ASEAN Economic Community

(AEC) to facilitate trade and reduce the time and costs of customs clearance

procedures.

Notification 6 entered into effect on January 21, 2019.

Thai Industrial Standard Institute Organizes Seminar on Industrial

Transformation 4.0 [Seminar]

On January 17, 2019, the Ministry of Industry (MOI) held a seminar on

Transformation of Thai Industrial Standard Institute 4.0 to provide information to

public how the Thai Industrial Standard Institute (TISI) has transformed in line with

the government’s 4.0 policy. According to Deputy Industry Minister Somchai

Hanhirun, the transformation of TISI puts into effect an electronic version of

standard issuance, surveillance, and fee payment to facilitate trade and reduce time

spent on obtaining industrial standards. Manufacturers can now submit applications

for relevant standards online without having to submit the documentation by hand

at the TISI office.

The new electronic system has reduced total time required for the application

procedure from 46 days to 10 days. The TISI also puts in place an e-surveillance

system, which enables officials to conduct post verification for all approved

standards and permits. In addition, an e-payment system has been implemented

whereby all service fees can be paid online through Krungthai Bank.


Tech Startup Association Requests Government to Introduce Strategy for

Artificial Intelligence [AI]

On January 21, 2019, President of the Thailand Tech Startup Association (TTSA)

Panachit Kittipanyangam called on the Thai government to come up with an urgent

strategy for artificial intelligence (AI) technology in order to prepare the future

workforce and build the AI technology in a sustainable way. Despite the rising

adoption of AI technology in Thailand, the government still does not have any

specific strategies to govern the use of AI technology.

While the AI technology is expected to have substantial impact on business and

society due to its powerful machine learning, predictive ability and automation, the

technology will come with challenges for Thailand if the government has no

concrete policy in place. In particular, most workers are low- or mid-level

employees, which will make them be replaced by automation once the AI

technology is fully in force. In preparation for the new era of technology, the

government should move policy strategies from focusing on basic research and

using available third-party tools to more advance research in AI technology in areas

302

of core visions of healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, education, law, and

insurance.

Notably, approximately 20 Thai companies including conglomerate, banks, and

telecom operators have adopted the AI technology in 2018. The early adoption

was driven by a need to differentiate their products and services. Microsoft

Thailand predicts that mid-sized companies will be the next generation of AI

adopters, using the technology to integrate their businesses.

Commerce Ministry and British Embassy Cooperate in Promotion of

Blockchain Technology for Intellectual Property Management [Blockchain]

On February 5, 2019, the Thai Ministry of Commerce (MOC) and the British

Embassy to Thailand jointly organized a seminar on the topic “Enhancing

Intellectual Property Management by Blockchain.” The United Kingdom is a strong

supporter of free trade, open competition, and adoption of new technology to

enhance trade. The development of blockchain technology is one of various areas

where the United Kingdom is cooperating with the Thai government to support

Thailand’s efforts to improve its business environment. In particular, UK

Ambassador Brian Davidson highlighted the potentials of blockchain technology in

intellectual property (IP) management for Thailand.

Director-General of Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) Pimchanok

Vonkorpon thanked the British Embassy for co-sponsoring the seminar. DG

Pimchanok acknowledged that blockchain technology can revolutionize the

economy and society including public administration and public services in an

unprecedented manner. In particular, the TPSO expects to adopt blockchain

technology in various areas under the MOC including registration, traceability,

ownership, e-commerce, and trade facilitation, among others. Applying blockchain

technology can potentially enhance IP management by enhancing the intellectual

property registration data system and the transactions from intellectual property

work.

In this regard, the TPSO conducted a project to explore the feasibility of adopting

blockchain technology in areas such as intellectual property, trade facilitation, and

agriculture. The study also focuses on a smart contract, which provides a self-

blockchain technology together with other technologies such as artificial

intelligence and internet of things could significantly improve the intellectual

property management in Thailand.

National Legislative Assembly Approves Legalization of Digital Securities

[AI]

On February 8, 2019, the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) approved the

amendments to the Securities and Exchange Act legalizing the issuance of digital

and tokenized securities via blockchain technology. The amended Act also allow

businesses operating depository of securities and digital tokens to apply for

depository licenses. Previously, the Act only allowed Thailand Securities

Depository Co Ltd, a subsidiary of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), to be

the sole company for scripless securities depository to serve the SET’s securities

trading operation.

As a next step, the approved amendments will be forwarded to the Council of State

for legal scrubbing and are expected to come into force later in 2019 following the

publication in the Royal Government Gazette. In the meantime, the Securities and

Exchange Commission (SEC) will further issue relevant rules including criteria for

securities depository licenses.

Bank (WB), the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Organization for

308

Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations

Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).

The event included one high-level forum and five sessions to discuss the

strategy of Vietnam’s government in relation to the development of new

technologies. The high-level forum, entitled “The Vision and Development

Strategy in the Fourth Industrial Revolution”, included four keynote speeches

and a panel discussion (the presentations are attached as a zip file called High

Level Forum). The five sessions, which covered among other topics, smart

manufacturing, smart city, block chain, internet of things, and artificial

intelligence (AI), are as follows:

(i) Megatrends of the fourth industrial revolution: impacts and

suggestions for Vietnam (copies of English language presentations

MARD Discusses Solutions for Speeding Up Standardization under

its Purview [Agriculture]

On July 18, 2018, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD),

in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), held

a conference to discuss standardization under the MARD’s purview. Many

government officers involved in standardization in the agriculture sector

joined the conference.

Standardization in the sector is very slow. In 2017, there were 102 voluntary

standards and 58 mandatory standards not issued within the deadline given

by the MARD. In 2018, the plan is to issue 135 voluntary standards and 31

mandatory standards; however, as of June 2018, only 13 voluntary standards

were issued. The lack of human resources engaging in standardization, in

relation to both quantity and qualification, is the main reason for the delays.

In addition, many government agencies still fail to prioritize standardization,

and there is little participation by the private sector in the overall process.

After the discussion, the MARD vows to apply stricter supervision over its

agencies to ensure that they focus more on standardization. Furthermore,

the MARD will consider assigning universities, business associations and

businesses to draft standards in the future, instead of assigning the task to

MARD agencies.

MOIT Removes Sanitary Towels, Tampons and Napkins from the Scope of

Mandatory Standard on Contents of Formaldehyde and Certain Aromatic

Amines [Hygiene]

On August 15, 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued Circular

No. 20/2018/TT-BCT (“Circular 20”) to revise the scope of application of QCVN:

01/2017/BCT, i.e., mandatory standard on contents of formaldehyde and certain

aromatic amines derived from azo colourants in textile products (“QCVN 01”).

QCVN 01 was issued by the MOIT on October 23, 2017 which limits the contents

of formaldehyde and aromatic amines in various textile products under ANTH 2017

HS chapters, among others, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64,

65, 94, 96. QCVN 01 will enter into force from January 01, 2019. A copy of

QCVN 01 (in Vietnamese) is available here:

http://www.moit.gov.vn/documents/20182/0/_VB_1508731858141_VB_TT_201

7_21.pdf/a6233f1a-71c5-4528-b1c1-c38bfce3ad46

Circular 20 removes the products under AHTN 2017 sub-chapter 9619 from the

scope of QCVN 01 to reduce the requirements as per requested by relating

enterprises. Previously, the MOIT also changed the implementation date of

QCVN 01 from May 01, 2018 into January 01, 2019 because many domestic textile

manufacturers still lacked preparation for the entry into force of QCVN 01.

Circular 20 will also enter into force from January 01, 2019.

A copy of Circular 20 (in Vietnamese), is available here:

MOST Holds a Forum to Discuss Direction for AI Development [AI]

On August 21, 2018, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) held a forum

on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Vietnam (AI4VN-2018). The forum was joined

by many representatives of government agencies and AI experts to discuss the

strategic vision and direction for the development of AI in Vietnam, as well as

required policies and resources for such development.

According to the MOST Deputy Bui The Duy, the Vietnam government strongly

supports AI development. However, Vietnam does not have strong resources like

the United States, China or Canada so the country needs to focus its resources on

suitable priority areas. As a result, Vietnam is seeking opinions from experts to

determine the right direction. Many priority areas were discussed in the forum,

including, among others, human resources, open data sources and connection

between the Vietnamese universities and foreign AI community.

The MOST noted the suggestions from the experts and also encouraged the oversea

Vietnamese AI experts to contribute their expertise in the AI development of the

country in the future.

Prime Minister Requests to Urgently Issue Mandatory Environmental

Standards for Scrap and Waste Imports [Environment]

On September 17, 2018, the Prime Minister issued Directive No. 27/CT-TTg to

request the ministries to apply some urgent measures in response to the

environmental concern over scrap and waste imports. The concern has been raised

since June 2018 by many newspapers, reporting a surge in scrap and waste imports

after China banned the entry of several types of solid wastes from the beginning of

2018. The surge also resulted in thousands of containers of wastes being

unclaimed at several ports in Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong City and Ba Ria – Vung

Tau Province, causing congestion at these ports.

Despite the public concern over potential environmental impacts, the Vietnam

government may not want to ban waste and scrap imports because they are

important raw materials for the domestic steel, paper and plastic industries.

However, the Vietnam government would like to tighten control and supervision

318

over the imports and, for that purpose, the environmental standards are urgently

needed.

Thus, the Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Natural Resources and

Environment (MONRE) to urgently issue the mandatory environmental standards

for scrap and waste imports within 2018.

MOT Seeks Comments on Draft Emission Standards and Roadmap for

Implementation [Draft Standards]

On September 21, 2018, the Ministry of Transportation (MOT) published the draft

new regulations on emission standards for public comment. According to the

MOT, the mandatory emission standards have been implemented since 2006 and

2007 for both old and new cars under Decision No. 249/2005/QD-TTg dated

October 10, 2005. On September 1, 2011, the government upgraded the standards

and implementation roadmap for new cars under Decision No. 49/2011/QD-TTg

but did not upgrade for the old ones. Thus, the MOT is seeking comments for the

319

new emission standards and implementation roadmap for old cars that are currently

in use or will be imported into Vietnam.

Accordingly, the emission standards will be made into 4 levels; the higher the level,

the higher the standards. Old car imports must meet level 3 or level 4 standards

(depending on the type of cars) from 2020. Cars currently is use must meet level

2 standards from 2020 (for cars manufactured after 2008) or from 2021 (for cars

manufactured from 1999 to 2008). Cars currently in use that were manufactured

before 1999 can continue to maintain the current emission standards (level 1)

because it may not be possible to upgrade the emission systems for those cars.

The comment period is from September 21, 2018 to October 5, 2018.


MOIT Holds Two Training Courses to Assist Supporting Industries in

Implementation of Standards [Training]

On September 25-26, 2018, the Vietnam Institute for Trade and Industry Studying

(VITIS), as assigned by the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MOIT), held two

training courses to assist the enterprises in in the implementation of, respectively,

5S3D methodology (a workplace organization method originating from Japan) and

ISO 50001 (energy management systems). Each course lasts for three days and is

free of charge.

The courses aim to improve the capacity of the enterprises in supporting industries,

i.e., enterprises specializing in manufacturing parts, materials, and accessories to be

provided to manufacturers of finished goods. In Vietnam, the supporting

industries are still weak and cannot meet the domestic demand, resulting in the fact

that many manufacturers must import parts, materials, and accessories from aboard.

The two courses are parts of the government’s plan in developing the supporting

industries so that they will meet about 65 percent of the domestic manufacturers’

demand by 2025.

Draft Guidance on Administrative Penalties in relation to Standards,

Product Quality and Labelling [Regulation]

The Ministry of Science and Technology is collecting public comments on a draft

circular (“the draft circular”) guiding the implementation of administrative

penalties in relation to, among others, standards, product quality and labelling

provided under Decree No. 119/2017/ND-CP dated November 1, 2017 (“Decree

119”).8 The draft circular comprises 3 chapters and 25 articles, mainly clarifies

the scope of imposition of the penalties provided under Decree 119. There are

some noteworthy clarifications, among others, as follows:

Identifying value of the infringing products

Value of the infringing products are important to determine the imposed

penalty under Decree 119, i.e., the higher the value, the higher the imposed

penalty. The draft circular provides that the value computation should be

based on, in descending order of precedence, (i) the prices stated in the

contract, invoice or import declaration; (ii) the prices under the data of the

local financial authorities or in case of lacking such data, the market prices at

the time the violation occurs; or (iii) the cost prices in case the products still

remain in the warehouses of the manufacturers (have not been put into the

market yet), or the market prices of other products having the same features,

specifications and functions at the time the violation occurs.

Penalties relating to voluntary and mandatory standards

The draft circular affirms that the law normally does not require the

compliance with the voluntary standards and the penalties for non-compliance

are not applied by default. Nevertheless, if an entity declares that its

products meet certain voluntary standards, it must then obey the relating rules

relating to, among others, fulfilling the procedures for making the conformity

declaration, keeping records of the relating documents and using the valid

conformity marks. If violating these rules, the corresponding penalties under

Decree 119 will be imposed.

For the mandatory standards, the penalties for failing to put the conformity

marks on the products before putting them in the market are only imposed if

(i) the products are subject to the mandatory standards and (ii) the mandatory

8 Decree No. 119/2017/ND-CP is available here (in Vietnamese): http://congbao.chinhphu.vn/noi-dung-van-ban-so-

119-2017-nd-cp-24980

321

standards require the conformity marks. The draft circular notes that not all

mandatory standards require conformity marks because it may not be possible

to put the marks on some types of products such as petrol and diesel fuel.

Penalties relating to product labelling

The draft circular clarifies that the penalties for failing to duly stipulate the

required information in the product labels can be imposed on, not only the

manufacturers, but also the entities importing, transporting, storing or trading

the infringing products.

The period of collecting public comments is from September 20, 2018 to

November 20, 2018. The draft circular, once being officially issued and entering

into force, will repeal Circular No. 19/2014/TT-BKHCN.9

Prime Minister Requests Ministries to Issue Standards for Quality

Inspection by June 2019 [Government Policy]

On October 9, 2018, the 2018-2020 plan for trade facilitation, which was approved

by the Prime Minister under Decision No. 1254/QD-TTg dated September 26,

2018, was published in the National Gazette. Under the plan, the Prime Minister

concluded that some ministries still failed to issue standards as the grounds for

quality inspection of imports, which has created difficulties for both customs

authorities and traders in the implementation of the quality inspection requirements.

Specifically, the Prime Minister requires the standards for food packaging and

containers under the purview of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT),

traditional medicine equipment and contraceptive under the purview of the Ministry

of Health (MOH), 18 types of wastes and scraps under the preview of the Ministry

of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), and embryos, eggs, sperm and

larvae of aquatic species under the purview of the MARD.

The Prime Minister also noted that the MARD failed to submit sufficient reports on

food safety issues under MARD’s purview, so there could be further food safety

standards that could be supplemented to the plan later.

The Prime Minister requested the ministries to issue the abovementioned standards

by June 2019.

New Mandatory Environmental Standards for Imported Scrap and Slag of

Iron and Steel Effective from October 29, 2018 [Environment Standards]

On October 11, 2018, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment

published two new circulars dated September 14, 2018 to provide environmental

standards for some waste and scrap imports. The Ministry urgently issued these

mandatory standards to tighten control over the import of waste and scrap into

Vietnam. The public has demanded stricter import control due to the surge in

waste imports into Vietnam after China banned the entry of several types of solid

waste in early 2018.

The two new circulars include (i) Circular No. 08/2018/TT-BTNMT, which

provides mandatory environmental standards for imported steel scrap, plastic scrap

and paper scrap; and (ii) Circular No. 09/2018/TT-BTNMT, which provides

mandatory environmental standards for imported glass scrap, non-ferrous metal

scrap, and iron and steel slag. The environmental standards regulate, among

others, the allowable sources and impurities of the products.

324

Steel scrap

Steel scrap can be imported if it originates from the following sources: (i)

steel, iron or cast-iron debris, shavings, bars, billets, etc. discarded from

manufacturing processes; (ii) steel, iron or cast-iron collected from

construction, means of transport, machinery, equipment and other products

after being demolished overseas to get rid of impurities, materials that are

banned from import under the Vietnam laws; or (iii) steel from railroads, steel

plates, steel sheets, steel nets or the likes.

Steel scrap that originates from used packaging, barrels, cans, boxes or other

types of containers may not be imported into Vietnam. Furthermore, all

scrap imports must be free of harmful impurities including chemicals,

inflammable substances, explosive substances, medical wastes, or substances

that contain radiation exceeding the limit10 (“the harmful impurities”).

Slag from iron or steel industry

Slag can be imported into Vietnam in powder or granular form. However,

the imported slag must meet the mandatory standards for slags used for cement

production (i.e., QCVN 16:2017/BXD2) including requirements such as,

among others, (i) content of MgO must not be higher than 10% and (ii) the

total content of CaO, MgO and Al2O3, divided by the content of SiO2, must

not be lower than 1.6%. The slag should also free of the harmful impurities

mentioned above.

Both Circulars entered into force on October 29, 2018.

absorbing type which takes the air from the environment but absorbs the hazardous

elements to prevent them from entering the body, and (ii) closed-circuit type which

has the air for respiration circular in a closed circuit. The standard requires that

closed-circuit rescuers must be equipped for employees working in class III mines

or above (classification based on methane level under Decision No. 983/QD-BCT

dated March 6, 2012 of the MOIT) or group II sulfide ore mines. The standard

also provides various technical requirements for manufacturing, testing, storing and

transporting the self-rescuers.

Vietnam Will Prioritize Standardization for S&T Enterprises [Science and

Technology]

On February 1, 2019, the Vietnamese government issued Decree No. 13/2019/ND-

CP (“Decree 13”) providing the policies for supporting science and technology

(S&T) enterprises. S&T enterprises refer to those that can create or apply S&T

results in their business and have at least 30 percent of their total revenues generated

from such S&T results. The S&T enterprises, after certified by the government

authorities, can be entitled to various incentives including, among others, reduction

of tax, land lease fees, and funding support from the government.

Decree 13 was issued to update and strengthen the supporting policies for S&T

enterprises. A noteworthy new regulation from Decree 13 is that the government

will prioritize developing mandatory standards for products of S&T enterprises,

provided that such products are potentially dangerous and should be governed by

mandatory standards. The priority in standardization aims to support the S&T

enterprises by creating a fair market for their products. This support could be

significant in the context that Vietnam still lacks mandatory standards for quality

inspection of products in various fields.

Decree 13 will enter into force from March 20, 2019.

Vietnam Cooperates with Allegion in Standardization of Door Hardware

[Cooperation]

On February 21, 2019, the Vietnam Institute of Architecture (VIAR), Vietnam

Standards and Quality Institute (VSQI) and Allegion (an international corporate

group specializing in security products for doorway) held a workshop on door

hardware standards.

Vietnam considers that the domestic market demands for door locks and other

hardware are quite high and will keep increasing, while the national standards for

these products are still lacking. Thus, by holding the workshop, Vietnam aims to

provide the standardization officers with basic knowledge on the relating standards

of Australia, the United States and the European Union, as well as direct discussions

with Allegion regarding the standardization. At the end of the workshop, VIAR

also signs a memorandum of understanding with Allegion, for cooperation in the

standardization of door hardware.

(1) フィリピン自動車基準認証プロジェクト（2013年）84

本プロジェクトは、第 8回日アセアン交通大臣会合（2010 年 11月ブルネイ）に

おいて承認された「日アセアン自動車基準・認証制度に関する協力プログラム」

の具体的取組の一つとして 2013年 6月から実施された。本プロジェクトの目的

は、日本からの専門家派遣等によりフィリピンにおける自動車基準認証制度の

整備等に関する助言を行い、認証の相互承認協定である「車両ならびに車両への

取り付け又は車両における使用が可能な装置及び部品に係る統一的な技術上の

要件の採択並びにこれらの要件に基づいて行われる認定の相互承認のための条

件に関する協定車両等の型式認定相互承認協定(1958 年協定)」への加盟の支援

をすることであった85。

本プロジェクトによる効果としては、フィリピンにおいて自動車基準認証制度

の整備が推進され、その結果、より安全・安心な車社会が実現するとともに、フ

ィリピンで自動車生産を行っており、同国で高いシェアを占める我が国自動車

メーカーが同国市場においてより自動車を販売しやすい環境が整備されること

が期待された。すなわち、自動車は日本が国際標準獲得を目指す「特定戦略分野」

の１つであるところ、日本の基準等をアジア諸国等とも共同で国際標準化を目

1.3 ARISE との比較

JAIFと ARISE との間には主に以下のような差異がある。

(1) 対象国・地域：

ARISE Plus は特にカンボジア、ラオス、ミャンマー、ベトナムを支援すること

としている。JAIF においては、確かにアセアン内の域内格差の是正を図ること

も目標のうちに含まれているが、特定の国に対する支援をするという方針は特

段示されていない。また、実際の JAIF、JAIF2.0 の案件も、上記各国を対象とす

るものもあるものの、その数が特に多いわけではなくアセアン全域を対象とす

る事業が多い。この理由を示した資料は見当たっていないが、おそらく日本は個

別の国に対しては ODA によって援助をしているため、JAIF はアセアン全域に

よりフォーカスしていることが関係していると思われる。

(2) 対象分野：

ARISE と JAIF の対象分野とは異なる部分も多い。JAIF の方が幅広く、特に

JAIF2.0 は安全保障等を意識した部分も大きいと考えられ、標準化については、

ARISE と異なり、上記 3.2.1にて紹介したフィリピンの件以外はあまり目立った

活動がない。
