Regarding the Obligation for Removal and Collection of Airbag Systems
Airbags used in end-of-life vehicles are explosive because they use a gas-generating agent, and for the sake of safety in the recycling process and because toxic sodium azide was used as a gas-generating agent for airbags until 1999, dismantlers are required to "remove, collect, and deliver to the automobile manufacturer, etc.". Therefore, dismantlers are obliged to "remove and collect the airbags and hand them over to the car manufacturer, etc.".
*On-vehicle deactivation treatment, in which all airbags are forcibly deployed by energizing the vehicle while still equipped, can only be performed after concluding a consignment contract (application and registration) with JARP(automobile manufacturer, etc.) and obtaining certification from the government (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Ministry of the Environment).
For more details, please refer to the tab "Vehicle Operation Processing".
Regarding the Collection and Recycling of Airbag Systems
Automobile manufacturers and others are responsible for taking back airbags delivered from dismantlers and appropriately recycling/disposing of them.
Collection Standards
Automobile manufacturers have established take-back standards to ensure safety in the collection, storage, and transportation processes, as well as to achieve convenience and social efficiency for Fluorocarbonscollectors/dismantlers.
*Please note that if the airbags do not conform to the "properties," "packing style," or "pickup method" specified in the pickup standards, pickup will be refused in principle and the airbags collection fee will not be paid.
| Items | Main Contents of the Standards |
|---|---|
| Properties | (1) Airbags for the driver, front passenger, etc., shall be removed in the inflator (gas generator) state and the seatbelt pretensioner shall be removed from the vehicle with the belt fully wound. (2) The power supply wire shall be shorted for electric types, and the safety device shall be activated for mechanical types. |
| Packing Style | ① Pack the airbag systems for one vehicle into the designated containers or bags, then store them in a dedicated collection case and hand them over. ② Attach a tag to the aforementioned containers or bags, indicating the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the stored airbag systems. |
| Collection Method | (1) Deliver airbags to the designated collection location by the previously declared transportation method. |

Flow Until Airbag System Collection Commences
Before handing over airbags to a transportation network contractor, we ask for your cooperation in pre-confirmation with JARP. Please review the following procedures and documents and take action accordingly.
① Collection and Delivery Method
Please confirm the following "To all those who will be removing and collecting airbags" and respond accordingly.
② Arrangement of Logistics Equipment
In order to deliver airbags, they must be stored in a unique tool. We will send you the necessary logistic tools for your first time, so please fill out the "Initial Kit Application Form" below and send it to us by e-mail or fax.
Please note that for logistics tools, after the first time, the system is set up so that you can request empty tools when you request a pickup from a transportation network company.
③ Regarding Initial Confirmation
When you receive the logistics tools, please confirm the following "Initial Confirmation of Airbags Collection" and take action. We will confirm in advance that the airbags have been appropriately handled and packaged.
During the confirmation, we will also use the detailed information of the vehicle, so please confirm the following "How to Use the Detailed Information of the Vehicle" as well.

Handling Procedures for Delayed Delivery of Airbag Components
Dismantlers are required to deliver dismantled vehicles and airbags within 120 days of receipt of end-of-life vehicles, or they will receive a confirmation notice.
However, for those companies that have concluded an outsourcing contract for the on-board operation treatment of airbags, or who handle a small number of end-of-life vehicles to begin with, the collection cases are not full within 120 days, and a confirmation notice/delay report is issued, forcing them to deliver the vehicles after one or two units. In the first place, some operators who handle a small number of vehicles have been forced to deliver only one or two vehicles.
In light of this situation, if there is a justifiable reason, such as a small number of end-of-life vehicles entering the warehouse, it is now possible to apply for an extension of the period required for delivery of airbags by submitting a prior report to the local government before a delay report is issued.
In cases where an application is necessary, please submit your application via the form provided below.

We would like to publicize the business establishments that did not apply any measures and had excellent performance* in the previous year's vehicle operation processing audits, and introduce examples of excellent efforts for proper processing.
We would like to ask all contracted operators to continue to implement and manage their on-vehicle operation processing operations properly.
Excellent performance" refers to cases in which all of the following are satisfied in the on-board treatment audit.
(1) No points were found in the audit items of "compliance with the contract," "proper onboard operation processing work," and "proper recording and reporting.
(2) As a result of confirming the number of vehicles equipped with four or more airbags, including seatbelt pretensioners, that have been treated with airbags, all airbags have been properly treated.

Regarding the Publication of Compliance Measures
Under Article 28 of the Law Concerning Recycling, etc. of End-of-Life Vehicles (Automobile Recycling Law), automobile manufacturers, etc. conclude consignment contracts with dismantlers and have dismantlers certified by the competent minister to perform on-board operation processing of airbags.
If the dismantler delivers airbags to a shredding company without processing them, it is a violation of Article 16, Paragraph 3 (obligation to recycle) of the Automobile Recycling Law and Article 7, Paragraph 1 (cancellation of registration for onboard operation processing) of the onboard actuation of airbagsBusiness Regulations, etc.
From October 2013 onward, automobile manufacturers, etc. and the Corporation have decided to publicize the actual names of businesses (establishments) whose registration has been cancelled in accordance with Article 7, Paragraph 4 of the " onboard actuation of airbagsBusiness Regulations".
Therefore, we would like to ask all demolition companies to continue to implement proper disposal procedures.
