Vehicle Inspection Certificate data information

*1 MOTAS: MOtor-car Total information Advanced System

: Vehicle Inspection Certificate data base

*2 AIRAC: Automotive Information Relay & Archive Center: completion inspection certificate data base

(1) Vehicle MFR obtains system approval based on the UN regulations(2) MFR obtains NTA using (1).

(3) MLIT sends the vehicle inspection certificate data information to MOTAS *1

(4) MFR sends the completion inspection certificate(equivalent to CoC)to AIRAC*2

(5) AIRAC acts on the users’ request, provide completion inspection certificate to registration office(6) Registration office checks completion inspection information(7) Vehicle inspection certificate is issued

Conclusions

• DOC proposal is based on use of VIN number• Japanese registration process is based on frame number• Modification of the Japanese process would require changes in

numerous systems and tools of manufacturers, distributors, and dealers – This would imply significant cost

(x Billion Yen = yy Million €)– Modifications would have to be performed in a synchronized

manner thus complicating the process• DOC adds significant complexity and cost without creating any

benefits for the Japanese process• The concept should be reviewed and considered for introduction

in conjunction with a later step of IWVTA implementation
