3 Outline of VAP Objectives of APEC/SCSC To achieve alignment of member economies national standards with international standards VAP Alignment Work Collect requests from each member economy to select International Standard (IS) Collect information from each member economy about degree of alignment between ISs and corresponding National Standards (NSs). Summarise result of survey Review result for further activities 2

7 Instructions to fill out the VAP format A) Fill a new format from 6. to 9. B) Is there any Technical Regulation (TR) related to IS indicated in 4. of new format? C) If B is Yes, identify the name of TR. (6.) D) Then, identify whether TR refers IS or NS. (7.) E) If the answer to D is NS, identify the number of NS. (8.) F) Describe the degree of alignment between the IS and the NS. (9.) See next slide for an example! 6

8 Instructions to fill out the VAP format Example - Fill a new format from 6. to 9. - B,C) If there is any TR related to the IS, identify the name of TR F) Describe the degree of alignment between the IS and the NS Response from Member Economy 1.No 2.Product Sector 3.Target Standards 4.Reference International Standard (IS) 5.ICS code 6.(If Technical Regulation (TR) refers either IS (4.) or the corresponding National Standard(NS)) Name or Number of the TR 7.Which does the TR refer IS or NS? 8.(If the TR refers the corresponding NS) Number of the NS 9.Degree of alignment between the NS (8.) and the IS (4.)(*) (as of 1st/Jan/14) 1 Product safety Safety of XXXX ISO :2004 ed ***** IS / NS JIS S9999:2005 IDT/MOD/NEQ 1 Product safety Safety of XXXX ISO :2004 ed.1; am ***** IS / NS JIS S9999:2005 IDT/MOD/NEQ 1 Product safety Safety of XXXX ISO :2009 ed ***** IS / NS JIS S9999:2010 IDT/MOD/NEQ D) Identify whether the TR refers IS or NS E) If the TR refers NS, identify the number of the NS IDT : Identical MOD : Modified NEQ : Not Equivalent 7

9 Time frame for 6th VAP Alignment Work 2014 Time frame VAP Work Plan in 2014 February 2014 Japan distributed a new format for 6th VAP with instructions to fill it out to SCSC member economies by . Each SCSC member economy is expected to submit the completed survey format to Japan. By 15th May, 2014 *Use degree of alignment as of 1st January, *Due date for submission : 15th May, 2014 *Submit to : tagami-akiko@meti.go.jp Prior to SCSC Japan will summarise the result of 6th VAP Alignment Work SCSC Based on the result, SCSC member economies are invited to give comments for further activities in 6th VAP. 8
