8.1.1 Activities related to MOC

8.1.1.1 Interim Report of the Subcommittee on Countermeasures

against Global Warming Associated with Construction Work

1.Purpose of the Subcommittee

At the Kyoto Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework

Convention on Climate Change in December 1997, greenhouse gas reduction

targets were established (envisaging a 6% reduction of the 1990 level by 2008 -

2012). In view of this target, efforts are being made to promote measures to

reduce CO2 emissions by giving comprehensive consideration to the civil

engineering and construction sectors which are estimated to account for

approximately 20% of the CO2 emissions of Japan’s industry as a whole.

2.Role of the Subcommittee

Under the Section for Environmental and Safety Measures in Construction Work,

which is a section of the Construction Technology Development Meeting, an

advisory body of the Minister of Construction, the Subcommittee has been

established in order to investigate the technical and specialist aspects related to

specific environmental and safety measures (mainly, the reduction of CO2

emission levels).

3.Subcommittee Members

Under the Chairmanship of Professor Nagata of Waseda University, the

Subcommittee comprises 10 members from the Coordination Bureaus of the

Ministry of Construction and the Public Works Research Institute, 6 members

from the civil engineering and construction sector, and 4 observers from the

Environment Agency, the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry

and Fisheries, and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, respectively.

4. Working Items

(1) CO2 Emissions directly discharged from construction plant and equipment

during operation

• Determining the reduction targets for CO2 emissions associated with

construction work

• Determining the technical principles and guidelines for measures against

global warming related to construction work

• Determining the technical development targets related to construction

plant and equipment

• Investigating measures for the prevailing construction plant and

equipment capable of low-CO2 emission

(2) CO2 Emissions indirectly discharged from construction equipment

• Determining unit CO2 emission levels of construction equipment

• Investigating measures for the use of construction equipment capable of

low-CO2 emission

5.Study Status

(1) Unit carbon dioxide emission per life cycle of construction plant and

equipment

(2) Annual carbon dioxide emission level of construction plant and equipment

(3) Method of evaluation of carbon dioxide emission levels for construction

plant and equipment

(4) Reduction measures in the area of construction plant and equipment

6. Effect on manufacturers

MOC is thinking of type approval for low fuel consumption machines. The

approval system is anticipated to be the same as that of low-noise, low-engine

emission approval, where MOC limit the use in their construction work site.

8.1.1.2 Interim Report of the Subcommittee on Countermeasures

against Noise and Vibration during Construction Work

1.Purpose of the Subcommittee

The Subcommittee’s role is to contribute to the protection of the residential

environment by promoting technical research and development and implementing

protection measures against noise and vibration during construction work from the

viewpoints of both work sites and equipment.

2.Subcommittee Members

Under the Chairmanship of Professor Miura of Shizuoka University, the

Subcommittee comprises 2 members from the Coordination Bureaus of the

Ministry of Construction and Public Works Research Institute, 7 members from

civil engineering and construction sector, and 1 observer from the Environment

Agency.

3.Working Items

• Studies on construction equipment to examine their evaluation techniques,

including a review of the standard values, with a view to reducing noise and

vibration by taking into account the need for international alignment.

• Studies concerning the technical guidelines for anti-noise and anti-vibration

measures associated with construction work with a view toward further

improvement by taking into account the recent progress in construction

technology and the changes in socioeconomic conditions.

4.Study Progress

(1) Overseas Trends in Noise Regulations

At the request of the European Union (EU), consideration has been given to

the question as to whether the (Japanese) Ministry of Construction would be

able to accept the noise levels measured by the local approval institutions in

the EU territory and has found that there would be no problem in doing so

since noise measurements are carried out in accordance with the ISO

standard, both under the EU Directive and under the Approval System of

the Japanese Ministry of Construction. However, checks will be required,

seeing that the approval institutions of the EU adopt a flexible approach in

view of their experience, such as the space of the measurement locations.

When, conversely, the question was raised whether the Ministry of

Construction was making efforts to persuade the EU to acknowledge

Japanese certificates. The answer was that the Ministry of Construction was

making no such efforts. It is therefore necessary that the equipment

manufacturers should put pressure to lobby the Ministry of International

Trade and Industry.

(2) Results of Ground Study for Vibration Evaluation

Evaluation tests on construction equipment designed to low-vibration

standards can be carried out only at the Tsukuba Civil Engineering Research

Center at present. The Kinki Technical Office is therefore conducting a

ground study so that a second test center can be provided in Japan. The

results of the studies conducted until the present have shown that the

vibration characteristics are different, need some conversion formula.

(3) Direction for Further Investigation

Construction equipment designed to low-noise standards has recorded a

market penetration in excess of 1 million units. In fiscal 1998, the

proportion of this type of equipment had reached a level of 93% for

hydraulic excavators, 81% for tractor shovels (wheel loaders) and 60% for

bulldozers. However, while the annual number of complaints lodged with

the construction industry for noise and those for vibration leveled off in

1992 and 1991 and thereafter their number has not shown a decreasing

trend. (The 3,000 - 4,000 noise-related complaints per year and 800 to 1,000

complaints about vibration.) While some opinions have leapt to the

conclusion that the Ministry of Construction needs to tighten the noise and

vibration standards, the manufacturers have demanded an accurate analysis

of the nature of the complaints since the noise level during normal

equipment operation has already been substantially reduced.

5.Schedule for Future Actions

Study will continue through the fiscal year 2000(April 2000 – March 2001)

mainly to review the current technical guidelines.

8.1.2 Warnings for battery bursts

Battery Association of Japan established the “Inspection Manual for Automobile Lead

Batteries Liquid Level”( see Attachment 8.1.2 ) so that the users could put the appropriate

indication on the Operating Instruction Manual and others for preventing battery bursts.

2

Attachment 8.1.2

INSPECTION MANUAL FOR AUTOMOBILE LEAD BATTERIES LIQUID LEVEL

1) Inspect the battery liquid level on a routine basis at least once a month in accordance with

the safety standards described below.

2) When inspecting the liquid level by viewing it from one side of the battery, ensure the

following:

Clean the battery surface around the level lines with wetted rags and ensure that the liquid

level lies between UPPER LEVEL (highest liquid level line, abbreviated UL) and LOWER

LEVEL (lowest liquid level line, LL). Use of dry rags or cloth for cleaning may cause

flashing and bursting due to electrostatic charge.

When the liquid level is below the middle height between the markings UL and LL,

replenish the liquid by adding purified water (for example, battery refill liquid available on

the market). After replenishment, fasten the liquid inlet plug tightly.

UPPER LEVEL (highest liquid level line)LOWER LEVEL (lowest liquid level line)

3) When side-viewing for level inspection is difficult, or no UPPER LEVEL marking is

provided on the sides, use the following procedure:

Remove the liquid inlet plug and check the liquid level through the opening. When the

liquid level does not reach the sleeve, be sure to add the purified water (for example, battery

refill liquid available on the market).

Normally filled

Liquid level reaches the lower edgeof the sleeve and bulged by surfacetension to cause electrode platesappear warped.

Liquid level is below the loweredge of the sleeve and thus theelectrode plates appear straight.

Insufficient

▲▲

4) When liquid level can be determined with an indicator or a graduation line, follow the

instruction of the vendor.

△ DANGER

Do not use the battery when its liquid level is below LL (Lower Level). If used, degradation

of its internal components will be promoted to shorten its service life and to cause its

rupture (explosion).

△ WARNING

Do not refill water above UL (upper level). If the level is higher than UL, it may leak to

spoil coated surfaces and corrode parts.

★ Recommendations:

If water is unintentionally added to a level higher than UL or lower edge of the sleeve,

discharge the water by using a dropper pipette or the like in order to lower the level to UL

or the lower edge of the sleeve. Neutralize the discharged liquid with baking soda (sodium

bicarbonate) or the like and force it to drain by pouring plenty of water. Or, consult with the

battery vendor.

8.2 Road regulations - Current situation of vehicle type approval system

1. Current situation and future plan of the device designation system( in relation to

reciprocal recognition)

Japan has become a member of the Reciprocal Recognition Agreement of the

United Nations in November 1998. Using the device type approval system, the

examination for the device specified in the Reciprocal Recognition Agreement is

omitted between Japan and other member countries of the Reciprocal Recognition

Agreement. Currently, the rules in the Agreement apply to the following 13 devices.

The coverage for mutual recognition has now been extended to additional 6 devices

to simply the vehicle type designation procedure.

The number of the devices in the framework will be extended to approx. 30 by the

end of March 2003.

13 devices currently recognized

★Braking system ofpassenger car withpassengers less than10

★Brake lamp ★ Front reflector ★Horn

★ Front fog lamp ★Auxiliary brake lamp ★ Side reflector

★ Position lamp ★ Front upper side lamp ★Rear reflector

★ Tail lamp ★Rear upper side lamp ★Alarm soundreleasing device ofhorn

2

New devices for reciprocal recognition (6 devices)

★ Turn signal lamp ★Rear fog lamp ★ Passenger protectiondevice against side impact

★Backup lamp ★ Locking device for two-wheeled vehicles

★Warning reflector

2. Electronic filing for the application of vehicle type approval

(1) Purpose

The number of applications of the vehicle type and the device type designations

is approximately 3,700 for a year from April 1998 to March 1999. The

requirements are to lessen the burden of persons who prepare applications and

to improve efficiency of public administration procedures. To satisfy these

requirements, the electronic application system shall be used.

(2) Current situation and plan of electronic filing

Currently, the documents to be submitted after authorization of the application

can be either conventional paper documents or electronic files.

In the future, the electronic filing system will be used for application of the type

designation and application of the new type. The system will be in service in

2002.

3. Improvement of recall system

(1) Background

Currently, there is very few application for recall on special vehicles. The

Ministry of Transport will strictly check if the manufacturers have the

appropriate internal systems.

(2) Actions of Ministry of Transport for improvement of recall system

* On-the-spot inspection shall be performed to check if the recall system is

appropriately put into practice.

* The Ministry of Transport has inspected 5 construction machine

manufacturers by March 2000.

* The Ministry will inspect the remaining manufacturers by March 2001.

* Random inspection will be performed after April 2001.

8.3.4 Safety Standard of Hydraulic Excavators

“The safety standard of hydraulic excavators” (JCMAS) was published on 27 March

2000, after completing the review and the public announcement based on the TBT

agreement. This standard consists of 3 parts; Part 1 (General), Part 2 (Long Reach

Application ) and Part 3 (For material handling use). Although it is basically arranged to

be consistent with the ISO standards and the EN standards, the concept particular to

Japan is also incorporated in some parts of these standards. In this section, some of these

points are explained.

Part 1 General

(1) Rear minimal swing radius excavator

The hydraulic excavators defined in the ISO and the EN standards are several

types including minimal swing radius excavator(MSRX). The rear minimal swing

radius excavator(RMSRX) was defined in this safety standard. While the MSRX is

designed to allow swing of the complete upper structure including front attachment

within 120% of the width of the undercarriage, the RMSRX is designed to allow

swing of the rear part only of the upper structure within 120% of the width.

The MSRXs have prevailed rapidly because of its efficiency at narrow spaces and

its safe operation. However, it has still problems in flexibility of the attachment and

in cost. To solve these problems and to make use of the advantages, the RMSRX

was developed and accepted in the market. As for compact excavators, the RMSRX

has become approx. 50% of the total demand. It is greater than approx. 30% of the

MSRX. Even at the 20 ton class, the share is now between 10 and 15%.

(2) Noise and vibration

The ambient noise is measured for type approval in Japan according to ISO 6395.

The excavators are classified into the low noise type and the super low noise type

with the standard values as shown in the table below.

2

Sound power level (dB(A))Net Engine power P (kW)

Low noise type Super low noise type

P＜55 99 93

55≦P＜103 104 98

103≦P＜206 106 100

206≦P 106 100

The noise at the ear of the operator must not exceed 85 dB(A).

The vibration level of the low vibration type hydraulic excavator required for an

environment must be 55 dB or less with the measurement method specified in the

notification of the Ministry of Construction.

Part 2 Long Reach Application

Part 2 specifies safety measures of the hydraulic excavator with a long reach

equipment. It mainly describes stability. For example the static stability of an excavator

with a long boom and arm is evaluated with the front stability and the backward stability,

and the dynamic stability is judged under the conditions such as the empty bucket, the

maximum working radius and the maximum engine speed when the boom is quickly

lowered and stopped.

The standard also describes required safety device, protection devices and items to be

specified in the operation manual.

Other types available as the long reach application are the hydraulic excavator with

the telescopic arm, the hydraulic excavator with the telescopic clamshell, and the

hydraulic excavator with super long reach boom and arm for demolition.

Part 3 For material handling use

Part 3 specifies the safety standard of the hydraulic excavator used for material

handling with the attachment other than bucket, except for the forestry machine. The

Safety and Health Law separately specifies the definition of the crane. In case of any

crane operations, the Law must be observed.

The contents of the standard are standard safety devices and safety signs,

recommended safety devices depending on the application and items to be specified in

the operation manual. The appendix shows an example of material handling using the

hydraulic excavator.
