Since APEC 23rd meeting(2004), keep reporting progress on Harmonization By the schedule,undergoing official WTO Notice for

comments and then announcing the regulations (40 ECE Regulations in 2004, 5 ECE Regulations in 2007)

Leftovers are still being discussed Safety Regulation evolved into “Developed” era “First Crash Test in Chinese Taipei” was conducted at ARTC

on 2005/01 Closer to International tempo

Twice per year, keeping track of ECE revisions Coping with demands from industry and safety, newly-set

ECE Regulations being planned (e.g. ECE R123, Adaptive front-lighting system(AFS) )

Outcomes of harmonization with ECE Regulations of Safety(1/7)(1/7)



Lead time of 2 years : official discussion Finished at MOTC With all industry’s representatives

1 year before implementation: Examination/Testing Facilities well-prepared Realizing Action Plan by year Organizing Seminar for explaining how to apply for
