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。
また、月次レポートは中国を除き原則英語で、中国標準化機関のレポート及び四
半期レポートは日本語にて作成する。

interoperability between France and Germany, but also to give the respective
economic operators a competitive advantage in the international market
through European standards. The continuous cooperation between DIN and
AFNOR has already led to concrete results, such as the joint launch of a CEN
Workshop to reach agreement on voluntary, leading benchmarks of media
self-regulation and good practices for all those who produce journalistic

Project on ethical aspects in the standardization of AI in autonomous
machines and vehicles [AI; automated driving]
On February 15, DIN announced a project on how ethical aspects are taken
into account in the use of AI on autonomous machines and vehicles and how
standards can contribute to this. The project will address the following
questions:
How can ethical rules be included in the standardization of
(requirements on) technology, processes and services?
How can comparison and evaluation options be standardized in
order to make compliance with ethical rules in the use of AI and
decisions based on it plausible and verifiable?
What is the need for standardization regarding the design of the
human-machine interface when using semi-autonomous systems
56
based on AI, e.g., with respect to the requirements and criteria to
hand over responsibility under consideration of ethical rules?
The project runs until April 2020.

preventively by creating food safety systems. In addition to FDA recognition,
ANSI accreditation supports those seeking FSMA compliance for the Foreign
Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). This requires importers to verify that
the food they import meets U.S. safety standards and the Voluntary Qualified
Importer Program (VQIP), a fee-based program that will allow for expedited
review and importation for those who achieve and maintain a safe and secure

ANSI released a working of the Standardization Roadmap for
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Version 1.0) [UAS / Drone]
On September 27, 2018, ANSI released a working draft of the
Standardization Roadmap for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Version 1.0).
ANSI’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Standardization Collaborative (UASSC)
has been working on the project. Prior to the release of the draft, a
preliminary draft was discussed at the UASSC plenary meeting held in
Washington, DC on September 20, 2018.
ANSI released the working draft to invite comments that represent critical
revisions and/or needed clarifications on what is presented in the document.
The comments are due on October 29, 2018. The UASSC working groups
will reconvene thereafter to address the comments and finalize the document
for publication.
The draft roadmap identifies published and in-development standards for
unmanned aircraft systems (UAS, also referred to as drones), defines where
gaps exist, and recommends additional standardization activity to address the
gaps. The addressed areas include: airworthiness; flight operations; personnel
training, qualifications, and certification; operations for critical infrastructure
inspections and commercial services; and public safety operations. The
roadmap also briefly introduces the UAS activities of the Federal Aviation
Administration, other U.S. federal government agencies, standards
developing organizations, and industry.

The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) publishes
report on U.S. Scrap Tire Management [Scrap Tire / Environment]
The USTMA, an ANSI member and accredited standards developer, has
issued a report on the scrap tire market in the U.S. for 2017. The report
indicates that reuse rate of scrap tires has increased to 81 percent from 10
percent in 1991. In 1991, there were over one billion scrap tires in
stockpiles, but it is now reduced by about 60 percent, with the USTMA’s
continuing efforts to repurpose scrap tires.
The report also shows that the use of tire-derived fuel continues to increase
with the strong performance of the construction industry, and that a common
re-use application in the ground rubber market is molded and extruded
products like mats, garbage cans, flooring and landscaping, and playground
mulch.

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) investigates
trade-related barriers affecting exports of U.S. small- and medium-
sized enterprises (SMEs) to the United Kingdom [Pharma,
Biopharma, Chemical]
Pursuant to a request from the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the USITC
instituted an investigation No. 332-569, U.S. SME Exports: Trade-Related
Barrier Affecting Exports of U.S. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises to the
United Kingdom. The purpose of the investigation is to provide a report that
compiles trade-related barriers that SMEs perceive as disproportionately
affecting U.S. SMEs exporting to the United Kingdom compared to larger
U.S. exporters to the UK. Such trade-related barriers could include those
that concern standards. ANSI invites its members and stakeholders to
participate in the investigation as the USITC seeks insights of U.S. SMEs,
particularly those involved with pharma, biopharma, and chemicals
(including nanotechnology), who export to the United Kingdom.
This new study conducted by the USITC is expected to support the current
agenda of the United States-United Kingdom Trade and Investment Working
Group, which is assessing ways to strengthen trade and investment ties and
provide commercial continuity for U.S. and UK businesses as the United
Kingdom is preparing for Brexit. Transmittal of the investigation report to
the USTR is currently due on July 31, 2019. The details of the investigation,
including its submission deadlines and hearing schedule, can be found at 83

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.

New U.S. legislation concerning water development authorizes a
voluntary partnership collaborative for water conservation and
efficiency into perpetuity [Water]
President Donald Trump last month signed S. 3021, the Water Resources
Development Act (WRDA), which authorizes the program of U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) called WaterSense into perpetuity.
ANSI participates in the program as an accreditation body.
The WaterSense program is a voluntary partnership collaborative that
promotes water conservation and efficiency. It also supports the market for
water-efficient products, programs, and practices by, for example, helping
consumers easily identify water-efficient products through a WaterSense
label. The label indicates that products such as bathroom sink faucets and
showerheads meet the EPA’s criteria for water efficiency and performance.
This industry-government collaborative program has helped reduce the
amount of energy needed to heat, pump, and treat water by 367 billion
103
kilowatt hours – equivalent to USD 63.8 billion cost savings to consumers in
water and energy bills.
ANSI has been recognized as an accreditation body to practice in the program
since 2009. ANSI accredits certification bodies for WaterSense products
listed on EPA’s website.

Snapshots of voluntary standards: fitness environments and grain
bin access design safety [Fitness, Inclusivity, Grain]
In an effort to promote diverse standards initiative undertaken in the global
and national arena, ANSI features snapshots of selected standards every
month. Its picks for this month are ANSI/RESNA IF-1:2018 and
ANSI/ASABE S624 AUG2018.
ANSI/RESNA IF-1:2018, American National Standard For Inclusive Fitness
– Volume 1: Inclusive Fitness Environments, provides best practices and lays
out existing regulations, standard specifications, and test methods for
determining inclusive fitness facility accessibility. It addresses the need of
increased fitness opportunities for individuals with impairments or
disabilities. It is developed by the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive
Technology Society of America – an ANSI member and accredited standards
developer.
ANSI/ASABE S624 AUG2018, Grain Bin Access Design Safety, is a new
standard developed by another ANSI member and accredited standards
developer, the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.
It provides recommendations for design parameters in new grain storage bins
– structures that house dry grain – focusing on safety. It is expected to
improve the safety of grain silo workers who often face risks of hazards
including entrapment and falls from heights.

ANSI announces the publication of the Standardization Roadmap
for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Version 1.0) [UAS, Drone]
ANSI’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Standardization Collaborative (UASSC)
developed the Standardization Roadmap for Unmanned Aircraft Systems
105
(Version 1.0), publication of which was announced by ANSI on December
20, 2018. UASSC is a group established to coordinate and accelerate the
development of the standards and conformity assessment programs needed to
facilitate the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the
national airspace system of the United States. Members of public- and
private-sectors supported the development of the roadmap.
It clarifies the current and desired future UAS standardization landscape by
identifying existing standards as well as standards in development, assessing
gaps, and making recommendations for priority areas where there is a
perceived need for additional standardization including pre-standardization
research and development. The roadmap includes examination of 64 issue
areas including airworthiness, flight operations, personnel training,
qualifications, and certification. While it hopes that the roadmap
recommendations will be widely adopted by the standards community, its
ultimate aim with the roadmap is to support the growth of the UAS market
with emphasis on civil, commercial, and public safety applications.

ANSI co-hosted a stakeholder event in the dietary supplements
industry [Public Health, Dietary Supplement]
ANSI hosted a Dietary Supplements Stakeholder meeting together with the
Global Retailer and Manufacturer Alliance (GRMA) on December 6, 2018,
in Washington D.C. The event focused on how to advance the quality and
safety of products marketed as dietary supplements in the United States in the
interest of protecting public health. The global market for dietary
supplement market was reported to be valued at over USD 133.8 billion in
2016 and projected to grow to USD 220 billion by 2021, according to a
research firm.
GRMA is a member-based organization with broad industry support from
more than 30 major retailers in the grocery, drug, mass merchandiser and club
store channels, including Costco. GRMA members started working
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
Responsible Nutrition, the Dietary Supplements Quality Collaborative
(DSQC), and GRMA.
A key part of the event was to better understand how the various stakeholder
efforts and initiatives in the dietary supplements sector can best collaborate
to deliver the certainty and confidence that regulators, industry and
consumers are looking for in the dietary supplements space. The
discussions that took place at the event provided an outline on priorities and
gaps. The general consensus was to convene a follow-up meeting in the next

paper identifies problems, which, according to the lead author of the paper,
could solve problems and advance the entire enterprise. It also notes the most
profitable innovations in nanoparticle manufacturing.
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.

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.

NIST’s pursuit of a chip-sized laser power measuring device shows
progress [Engineering Specification]
Despite the importance of lasers in many manufacturing processes, there has
been no way to precisely measure laser power during the manufacturing
process in real time. Researchers from NIST, who have been developing a
laser power sensor that could be built into manufacturing equipment for real-
time measurements, presented the results from their latest prototype in an
October 2018 issue of IEEE Sensors.
119
The new chip-sized sensor called “smart mirror” is designed for lasers of
hundreds of watts – the range typically used for manufacturing processes. It
is a big improvement from the previous sensor made by the NIST researchers
in terms of device size, measuring speed, and sensitivity.
According to a researcher at NIST, further improvement of such sensors
would provide “standardized quality assurance across laser-based systems
and [help] accelerate the process of part qualification,” which would ensure
that manufactured objects meet engineering specifications.

the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QEDC), which aims to
expand U.S. leadership in global quantum research and development and the
emerging quantum industry in computing, communications and sensing.
The consortium is expected to effectively align resources, quantum research,
and development efforts between federal, academic, and industry partners.
QEDC members will collaborate on precompetitive R&D such as quantum
device design and phototyping, increase efficiencies while sharing resources,
and leverage their own research investments with those of the federal

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.”

NIST’s study found that very low amounts of antimicrobial
nanoparticles are released from food contact materials after
cutting, washing, or scratching [Food, Health]
Outside the United States, silver nanoparticles measuring between one and
100 nanometers in size are being incorporated into a variety of kitchen
products (e.g. spatulas, baby mugs, storage containers, and cutting boards)
because of their antimicrobial and antifungal properties. On the flipside, the
use of these items raises concerns that the nanoparticles in them will migrate
into foods and the environment, thereby pose risks to human health.
A new paper released by scientists from various organizations – the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), NIST, and the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission – examined if consumer use practices (e.g. cutting,
washing, and scratching) of food contact materials affect nanoparticle release.
123
This is a new study as previously issued relevant guidance documents and set
policies and regulations concerned only nanosilver release from new, unused
consumer products or laboratory surrogates. The researchers hope their test
method will help regulatory bodies identify if any safety health risks exist
from silver nanoparticles in food contact materials, and if so, find ways to
deal with them appropriately before they are approved for sale in the United
States.

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.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publishes a new
standard for small unmanned aircraft systems [UAS, Drone]
NFPA, a U.S. organization that creates and maintains over 300 codes and
standards to reduce loss of life and property due to fire, electrical, and related
hazards, released NFPA 2400, Standard for Small Unmanned Aircraft
Systems Used for Public Safety Operations. It includes a suite of ten aerial
test methods as well as five functionality test methods developed by NIST
concerning both small unmanned aircraft systems – often known as drones –
and their pilot remotely controlling them. The former set of test methods
quantitatively measures both the system capabilities of the drone and the
126
proficiency of the pilot in carrying out five basic maneuvers, including
accurate landing, vertical climbing, and straight and level flying. The latter
set of test methods include circular orbits to identify objects from afar and
spiral maneuvers to conduct close-range inspections.
The increasing use of drones in critical situations – tracking the spread of
wildfire, searching for a missing person, and detecting toxic fumes after an
explosion before sending in rescue workers, for example – led to a publication
of the new standard. It is expected that the new standard including the test
methods developed by NIST will help ensure the reliability of the
performance of the drones and the pilot.
NIST is developing more than 20 additional aerial test methods, all of which
are being standardized through the ASTM International Standards Committee

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

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.

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

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.

methods [Wireless Network]
On November 28, 2018, IEEE-SA announced the release of the IEEE
802.19.1TM-2018 standard – Part 19: Wireless Network Coexistence
Methods. The newly available standard specifies radio technology
independent methods for network-based coexistence among dissimilar or
independently operated networks.
According to the chair of IEEE 802.19 Wireless Coexistence Working Group,
it enables the IEEE 802® family of wireless standards to effectively utilize
license-exempt or lightly licensed devices by providing standardized
coexistence methods among dissimilar or independently operated wireless
networks under general authorization.

IEEE standard addressing time-sensitive networking for fronthaul
is now available [LAN, Ethernet, 5G Network]
On November 29, 2018, IEEE-SA published IEEE 802.1CM™-2018, that is
IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks – Time-Sensitive
Networking for Fronthaul. It is the first available IEEE standards developed
to connect a cellular network’s radio equipment to its remote controller via a
packet network, in particular, over a bridged IEEE 802.3TM Ethernet network.
The abstract of the standard available at IEEE Standards Store describes that
it “defines profiles that select features, options, configurations, defaults,
protocols, and procedures of bridges, stations, and LANs that are necessary
to build networks that are capable of transporting fronthaul streams, which
are time sensitive.” It is expected to represent “a key pioneering step for
providing reliable packet transport within 5G networks,” according to the
chair of IEEE 802.1 Working Group.

IEEE publishes guide for performing Arc-Flash Hazard
Calculation [Electricity Engineering, Workplace Safety]
IEEE and IEEE-SA announced the publication of IEEE 1584™-2018—IEEE
Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations, which is the result of
the joint research program between IEEE and the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) called the Arc Flash Research Project. The new
standard is expected to “improve[] the prediction of hazards associated with
arcing faults and accompanying arc blasts … by [allowing contractors and
facility owners] to more thoroughly analyze power systems to calculate the
incident energy to which employees could be exposed during operations and
maintenance work,” according to a managing director of the IEEE-SA.
IEEE 1584 includes processes that cover the collection of field data,
consideration of power system operating scenarios, and calculation
parameters. Applications include certain electrical equipment and
conductors.

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.

Jakarta Hosts IEC Conference on Hazardous Equipment and Services
[Dangerous Goods]
From August 8-9, 250 participants from 15 countries attended a conference in
Jakarta organized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the
IEC System for Certification to Standards for Equipment for use in Explosive
Atmospheres (IECEx), the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
(UNECE) and the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN). The
conference was titled: IECEx International Conference: Equipment and Services
in Explosive Atmospheres. Indonesia is a member of the IEC, but only an
observer-member of the IECEx. The conference focused on issues related to
standards of equipment, which is used and operated by employees in high security,
hazardous environments or areas with a potential for explosion. Such
environments include oil refineries, chemical processing plants, hospitals, fueling
stations, and offshore oilrigs. Another topic was the importance to implement
standardization and conformity assessment of automated equipment, including
robots, automatic machines and other semi-automatic control systems.
The United Nations recognizes the IECEx system for harmonizing regulations in
various countries to enable manufacturers to be more flexible in innovating and
use the latest technology for products used in explosive atmospheres. To date,
the BSN has adopted the following standards, which are enforced by the Ministry
of Energy and Mineral Resources:
SNI IEC 60079-0: 2009: Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres
and its parts
SNI IEC 60079-0: 2009 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres
- Part 0: General requirements
SNI IEC 60079-1: 2009 Electrical apparatus for the warheads atmosphere -

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.

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].

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.

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.

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-
303
executed agreement between Parties that can apply to the whole process of
intellectual property from filing to licensing. DG Pimchanok expects that the
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.

Vietnam Holds Industry 4.0 Summit 2018 to Discuss Development
Strategy [Smart Manufacturing, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence]
From July 12-13, 2018, the Central Economic Commission of the Communist
Party (CEC) and the Vietnamese government jointly held the Industry 4.0
Summit 2018 with the theme “The Vision and Development Strategy in the
4th Industrial Revolution.” The event brought together leading experts from
the United States, Germany, France, Finland, Japan, and Korea; officers from

ministers; representatives of international organizations such as the World
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
are in the zip file);
(ii) Building smart cities sustainably in the context of the fourth
industrial revolution;
(iii) Developing smart manufacturing industry: vison and technology
solutions (copies of English language presentations are in the zip
file);
(iv) Next generation of banking and finance in the fourth industrial
revolution (copies of English language presentations are in the zip
file); and
(v) Vision and solutions for sustainable development of “smart
agriculture.”
At the event, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc concluded that the fourth
industrial revolution is an important opportunity for the development of
Vietnam and to take advantage of such opportunity, the government will
focus on, among others, establishing the appropriate legal framework which
encourages new technologies, building the necessary infrastructure, and
improving the education activities to prepare qualified human resource. He
also announced that the CEC and the government are preparing the national
309
strategy for the fourth industrial revolution, which is expected to be available
by the end of 2018.

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.

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,

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.

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.

STAMEQ Announces Three New Voluntary Standards
[Transport/Communications]
On September 17, 2018, the Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality
(STAMEQ) announces three new voluntary standards on its website, including:
TCVN 7887:2018 – Retroreflective sheeting for traffic control, which was
approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) under
Decision No. 2140/QD-BKHCH dated August 1, 2018. TCVN 7887:2018

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.

MOIT Issues New Mandatory Standard on Personal Self-Rescuers Used in
Underground Mines [Mandatory Standard]
On December 5, 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) issued a new
mandatory safety standard on personal self-rescuers used in underground mines
(i.e., QCVN 01:2018/BCT). The self-rescuers are divided into two types: (i)
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.

1.2 標準化に関連する支援
JAIF(AJCEP を含む)の支援事業の中で、標準化に関するものは、公開資料に
よれば以下のようなものがある83。
(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
指したのである。

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。
