At a seminar in October, Road Transport Department (JPJ) automotive engineering director Ir Haji Mohamad Dalib revealed that 22 new UN regulations, under the World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (WP29), were set to be gazetted next year in Malaysia.
We’ve just come back from a Malaysia Automotive Institute-Society of Automotive Engineers technical talk on UN regulations for vehicle pneumatic tyres, where JPJ automotive engineering assistant director Arif Fahmi Abdul Wahab revealed the new regulations themselves – and there are 23 of them.
Along with the 78 UN regulations already in force, these standards will be mandated for new vehicle type approvals (VTA) in 2015. Of interest is R101 Passenger Car Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions – this means that officially, fuel economy and carbon emissions will be measured according to the UN ECE R101 standard in Malaysia. It is already an Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) pre-requisite, albeit only for fuel economy currently.
Additionally, a further 19 UN regulations are set to be gazetted in 2017 and two more by 2020, making a grand total of 126 UN regulations incorporated into Malaysian law, Mohamad Dalib said previously.
Among the technologies future gazetted regulations will cover are Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Front Lighting and Enhanced Child Restraint System.
Malaysia was accepted by the UN on April 4, 2006 as a signatory to the 1958 Agreement on Reciprocal Recognition and 1998 Agreement on Global Technical Regulations, under WP29. As a result, Malaysia may test and certify an automotive product and export that product to 51 contracting nations without the need for further testing. These products will bear the stamp ‘E52’, which can be issued by JPJ.
Arif revealed today that there are plans for Malaysia to sign the 1997 Agreement Concerning the Adoption of Uniform Conditions for Periodical Technical Inspections, which could pave the way for standardised periodic vehicle inspections, such as the Voluntary Vehicle Inspection proposed in NAP 2014. You’ll also find some information on vehicle type approval procedures in the slides below.
Note that these UN regulations only apply where that component or system is on the vehicle in question, to ensure they adhere to specification – it does not mean new vehicles must have cornering lamps, headlamp washers, speed limiters or a spare tyre (for instance!) in order to be type-approved in Malaysia.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
another new way for bloodsucking gomen to make money by making spare tyre compulsory and saman here and there. I tell you, no need spare tyre if you reduce car tax and let people buy better car. Have you seen ferrari with punctured tyre? No right! That is because higher quality cars no need spare tyre. Only protong uses spare tyre.
Due to BN brilliant protection policy.
Rakyat keep on suffer, look at the result that they been make so far… is all failure and M’sia market currency exchange fall record low.
I believe new hybrids will not have spare tire as the “spare” space can be used by the batteries. And there’s new tire technology call “run flats”.
Malaysia Automotive Institute-Society of Automotive Engineers better disband if they cannot make an exception to these cases.
Yup..agree!!!
when you are using run flat tires normally found in BMW and Mercedes which can run for more than 50 km at 80 km/h even when flat, then you dont need spare tires. How come the list of UN gazettes shown doesn’t mention about this?
I wonder which kampung you came from?? I bet you just dont see ferreri everyday like i do. You watch too much youtube kid.
Bodoh tu simpan sikit.
A spare tyre is always handy. Tyre repair kit is not as convenient, run flats are shit.
read the last paragraph… all those are not compulsory but will only be checked if the features are included in the car. you’re not required to install them, unlike the rear passenger seat belts issue long time ago
“Note that these UN regulations only apply where that component or system is on the vehicle in question, to ensure they adhere to specification – it does not mean new vehicles must have cornering lamps, headlamp washers, speed limiters or a spare tyre (for instance!) in order to be type-approved in Malaysia.”

I fear for the next generation of Malaysians. Too much hate until they can’t think properly – no wonder they’re easily taken for a ride.
I am appalled by the level of intelligence of some of the people in the forum. I sometimes wonder is this the product of our education system or they are plain stupid.
Not sure but I think he is being sarcastic after reading a few of his comments in previous articles
this comment is so stupid , it makes me wonder if it is sarcasm
wow comparing to ferrari? How much safety is a ferrari? Ferrari no punctured tyre? You must be from another planet. Planet ferrari. In planet earth ferrari tyre also punctured. In planet ferrari also only proton uses spare tyre. In planet earth, other car manufacturers uses spare tyre. U just pass upsr isnt.
Car manufacturer must accept this order and for sure it will make it hard to lower down car prices. Futhermore, ringgit value has went down and US dollar skyrocketed also will make car prices cant go down despite of GST.
USA cars not very sellable here.
JPY is record low now, and the UMW is earning heavily.
what about UN regulations for car safety features?
money settle everything, who care ?
Spare Tyre?
As much as I hate RFTs, how do they expect cars to come with spare tyres when where is no space to store them?
don’t think spare tyre is mandatory. think its more of if there’s a spare tyre, it must conform to the specs.
Don’t need this rule,weight reduction is everything!!!!
WTF! Come out all the nonsenses to make money.
saman!! bayar saja ma
Temporary spare tyre? Tan Chong Nissan and Honda Malaysia will have to add on replacement tyre for existing CBU Serena S-Hybrid and Honda Jazz Hybrid respectively.
Johnathan tan, I am a bit confused, by your last paragraph, last sentence , it can also means that malaysia car make for local use, non exports, CAN don’t need to follow the rules……? ie the spare wheels and etc….?
A good way to ensure all this high tech features come with high standard
Nowadays you don’t need a spare tyre. Buy a 12 VOLT ELECTRIC AIR PUMP w/GAUGE like what I have. When your tyre is flat, just connect it to the cigarette lighter socket, and it will have power to inflate your flat tyre. Then you drive to the nearest tyre shop.
To know what this product looks like, come here:
if the tyre broken? or rim crack?
wait for tow car?
temporary spares are great, i still don’t believe in those patch kits, yeah sure they take you home but then the tyre needs to be cleaned out and patched again plus the cost of the patch kit refill again.
one spare tyre is the best, use and use only rm5 to patch and whatever service from roadside asssist
Good job government, I applaud your efforts into bringing this sorry state of our country into a first world one
Ayyo people, read first please, as pointed by a few smart gentlemen above, this article is talking about regulating the features should the manufacturer decide to include them in their package.
Please do not shout to the whole world of how stupid you are :|
you need to need to have finance background to be in finance department, you dont need to have education to be at the post, and this is what JPJ can come out with lately, tint regulations (again), change road name (again), …what else? those Reverse gear strategy has no productivity to the country at all but SPENDING to their cronies, simple, thats all G minister job.
OMG, Our beloved new Proton Iriz car is not EEV ready. So does that mean we will see a new engine soon ?
it is better if JPJ manufacture their own cars/vehicles on their own brand for public…no need merc, bmw, proton etc…
Bermaz Malaysia, please take note the item number 16. TQ!
