As part of the 2002 Motor Vehicle Technical Regulation and Certification Cooperation Project, consigned by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the "Advanced Training Course on Motor Vehicle Technical Regulation and Certification" was held from July 23 to August 2. The objective was to acquire knowledge and technology necessary for international activities aimed at achieving international harmonization of vehicle safety and environmental standards, and mutual recognition of approvals, in the countries of Asia. The course covered the significance of vehicle regulation harmonization and of mutual recognition of approvals and presented an outline of related international activities to a total of 13 attendants, 3 trainees each from 3 countries (Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines), 1 trainee each from China and Vietnam (for a total of 11 trainees) and 2 observers from Saudi Arabia and Oman. What is more, in an "Inspection/Maintenance Course", newly-established this year, individualized training specializing in the inspections and maintenance was offered. Over a period of about two weeks, trainees attended lectures, presented country reports, practiced conducting automobile type-approval tests and tests for compliance with general safety regulations, all in an effort to gain knowledge toward the establishment of motor vehicle technical regulation and certification systems in their respective countries.
