Performing the vehicle noise type approval, conformity of product and vehicle noise control

Absrtact
This project includes 4 major parts: (1) Granting certification, conformity of product and statistic of vehicle noise test result, (2) Boost the policy of in use vehicle noise control (3) Study the vehicle noise control regulations of the harmonization development (4)The cost-benefit analysis for vehicle noise control policy. During 2007, we granted 627 vehicle type approval certifications, performed 249 vehicle noise tests for conformity of product. Also publish the vehicle certification database during 2006 and continue to update the certification database in the website of ARTC. We help some local EPB members to perform the in-use vehicle test for 12 times, and finish 104 test case. Total 423 test cases been finished during this year, include 184 NG case. Some EPB have enough instruments but didn’t perform well, the issue need to be push in next project. About the cost-benefit of vehicle noise control regulation. Analysis shows the cost is about 340 million NTD per year. The benefit can help to reduce the environment noise and assure the health of citizen. Furthermore, stricten regulation will push the vehicle maker to improve their technical and become more competitive in their business field. Other achievements and suggestion include: (1)To convene a technical interaction meeting between the two appointed vehicle noise test Labs. and define notify process can help to improve the conformity in test process. (2)To hold the in-use vehicle noise test conference in May can help to train the EPB members to perform noise test. The conversazione in November help to gather statistics all test result and provide to EPA as reference. (3)For the COP control, we keep to check the variation between the COP test result and the type approval test result. This will help to improve the quality control of the manufacture. (4)The comparison of various country’s noise regulation can give the EPA more convenient reference resource. And suggest to keep watch the development of GRB harmonization meeting in order to catch the newest message in noise regulation.
