| (1) Unique Recycle Mark (Batteries) | - Legislative provisions have been promulgated in each country and each region throughout for the effective use of natural resources and prevention of the environmental pollution. The situation is the same with Batteries. GOB compels the provision of the various markings on the Battery itself, and its User's Manual correctly without any mistakes the management, which heavily burdens the manufacturers. |
- It is requested that GOJ and GOB will jointly work toward the unification of the Recycle Marking Requirement worldwide. | |
| (2) Control on Higher Efficiency of Low Voltage Motors (LVMs) | - LVMs, including those assembled into machinery, are subject to higher efficiency control in each country including the U.S., Canada, Brazil and Mexico. The accreditation standards, which vary by country, form de facto trade barriers due to the complexity of the application process that requires not only the efficiency requirements but the local accreditation as well. | - It is requested that GOU dispenses with the accreditation requirement on LVMs, assembled into machinery that satisfies the regulated efficiency level to remove the trade barriers. | - Presidential Order 4508 |
