Absrtact	The main work items of this project included: assist EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) to examine the applications of new vehicle type approval with regard to noise, to review the current regulations and noise control policy for further improvement and to study the world-wide regulations development in vehicle noise control area. Firstly, for the new vehicle type approval with regard to noise, examined 1183 new type cases and 1119 new certifications were granted up to December 13, 2013. The statistics of new vehicle spot check and quality control test reports showed fully comply with the COP (Conformity of Production) requirements. Secondly, to implement the policy of briefing examination process, this project reviewed with emission examination, authorization and industries to integrate the Emission and noise certification process of Heavy Diesel Vehicles. The E-Certification systems have been modified at the beginning of this year, and all vehicle-types can be examined with the emission/noise integration process. In this year, we also developed the “examination and statistics modules” in the E-certification system to improve the examination efficiency and database management. Besides, in order to monitor the testing process of the authorization laboratories, a vedio data transmission system has been setup in examination office, and it links to the authorization laboratories with realtime connection. The monitor program can improve to audit the impartiality of testing process and operation quality for all authorization laboratories. Finally, for the purpose of quick response to international regulations trends, and to improve the implementation issues of in-use vehicle noise control tasks. This project continually paid close attention on the progress of EU (European Union) vehicle noise regulations legislation, and consultation with EPA and industries for the next phase 5th and phase 6th vehicle noise regulations. Since the EU will implement new motorcycle regulations from 2016. The EU new regulation schedule for car is less clear, we estimate if successfully finalized, the fast possible implementation date might be in 2017. We should prepare relevant schemes so as to homonize with EU quickly.
