JAPAN'S PROPOSAL ON PRODUCT LIST FOR 
ENVIRONMENTAL GOODS AND SERVICES  
 
Submission from Japan  
 
Paragraph 31(iii) 
 
Addendum  
 
 
 The following communication, dated 12 February 2010, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of Japan.  
_______________ 
  
1. In response to the Chair’s work plan provi ded on 2 October 2009, Japan hereby submits its 
proposal on attached product list for environmen tal goods and services to the Committee on Trade and 
Environment Special Session (CTESS). This list complements the preceding proposal from Japan (TN/TE/W/75), submitted to the CTESS on 27 Novemb er 2009, and identifies specific tariff lines 
coded by the six-digit Harmonized System (HS) 2002 and product description of energy efficient 
goods by ex-outing from corresponding tariff lines, all of which fall into the eleven criteria illustrated 
in the previous proposal.  
2. In addition, this proposal lays out draft technological and functional standards and 
implementation method to identify energy efficient goods  at custom authorities, in order to serve as a 
basis for future discussion to establish harmoni zed "Energy Efficient Standards" among Member 
countries. In parallel with the debate on product coverage for environmen tal goods and services, 
Japan expects that elaborated works to create the Standard and implementation scheme to be 
undertaken in the CTESS would lead to the spread of energy efficient products certified under a single 
standard for energy efficiency, which would cont ribute to the mitigation of the climate change.  
3. These items are illustrated without prejudice to  the Japanese final positions on the specific 
items and Japan reserves the right to make further m odifications to the items in the broader context of 
subsequent negotiations.

Page 10 ANNEX: FRAMEWORK OF ENERGY EFFICIENT STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATION PROCESS 
 1. As proposed in previous communication from Japan dated 27 Novemb er 2009 (TN/TE/W/75), energy efficient goods listed above would  be eligible for 
tariff elimination at the border when certified to conform to en ergy efficient standards by destination countries' authorities.  It is an essential part for realization of 
trade liberalization of energy efficient goods to start discussi on among WTO member countries to establish agreed energy effici ency standards (referred as 
"Common Standards" hereinafter) for each pr oduct and implementation scheme to conform ity assessment.  As a basis for initiating  the discussion, Japan hereby 
proposes a framework by providing model cases of energy efficient st andards for particular home and office use appliances refer red in the list above and 
certification process to assess conformity to th e standard by the Members' authorities.  
I.  MODEL CASES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS

proposal in reference to the standards set  out in the established plurilateral energy efficiency certification system, "Interna tional Energy Star Program",
* and 
energy efficiency standards adopted in developed Members. 
The model definitions and other criteria described below do not  prejudice the position of Japan in future discussions on multil aterally proposed energy 
efficiency standards in the WTO/CTESS, nor its position in future amendments for the standard in its territory.

adopted in developed Members. 
The model formula, threshold and other crite ria described above do not prejudice the position 
of Japan in future multilateral discussions on energy  efficiency standards in the WTO, nor Japan's 
position in future amendments for the standard in its territory. 
1. Conformity Assessment to the Standards 
There are several options to certify the conformity of products to the Common Standards 
which would be the basis to bestow the eligibility of tariff elimination. One of the appropriate ways is 
a governmental authentication where government authorities such as ministries responsible for 
industry, environment or trade conduct tests at its competent institution to assess the conformity of products brought by producers. Other options such as third party certification by test facility of public 
or private sector and self declaration of conformity by manufacturers are less easy to implement yet 
even more convenient and feasible way in light of  trade facilitation of environmental goods. Here we 
suggest some options, expecting further discussion among Members at the WTO or adequate forum. 
- Governmental Certification : Member countries’ authorities conducts technical assessments 
of products and issue certifications of conform ity if those products are successfully approved. 
- Third Party Assessment : Assigned public or private institutions conduct technical 
assessments and Member countries’ authorities issu e certifications of conformity based on the 
report of test results. 
- Self Declaration of Conformity : Producers in Member countries conduct technical 
assessments of products, regardless of the re gistration of those capacities to the Members 
countries’ authorities, and the authorities issue certification of conformity based on the 
technical assessments. 
2. Mutual Recognition of Conformity 
From the aspect of trade facilitation, mutual recognition among Members on authentication of 
conformity assessment results of traded goods to the Common Standards is an essential element for 
trade liberalization of environmental goods, in order to avoid duplicate testing burden in the country 
of origin and destination countries. Further di scussion to create mutual recognition scheme among 
Members are recommended, considering adequate sp ecial and differential treatment for developing 
countries which would be on the way to establish dom estic certification system and testing facilities. 
3. Customs Clearance 
To confirm whether those goods meet the tax re quisition, it is necessary that certifications 
issued for each shipment based on certifications of  conformity with agreed common standards, so-
called "a certificate of product", should be submitted  to customs at the time of import declaration.
