REGULATIONS

Types of Assembly and Production of Two-Wheeled Motorcycles

(Issued together with Decision No.: 648/1999/QĐ-BKHCNMT dated April 17, 1999 of the Minister of Science, Technology and Environment)

1. This document stipulates types of assembly and production of two-wheeled motorcycles assembled from new parts and components imported and/or produced in Vietnam.

2. "Domestically produced parts and components" in this document refers to parts and components produced and assembled domestically to replace imports.

3. The following five types of assembly and production are specified:

3.1. CKD1: All parts and sub-assemblies imported are divided into six groups as follows (see Appendices 1 and 2):

3.1.1. Group 1 - Engine: Complete engine assembly, transmission, generator, not yet assembled onto the frame. Carburetor, air filter, muffler are separate.

3.1.2. Group 2 - Frame: Frame, front and rear shock absorbers, forks, and all parts in this group connected by bolts, nuts, screws are separate. Fully painted.

3.1.3. Group 3 - Chain drive and wheels: Rim, hub, spokes, tire, braking system, chain, sprocket are separate.

3.1.4. Group 4 - Control parts: Steering handle, brake lever, throttle, switch assembly, and all parts in this group connected by bolts, nuts, screws are separate.

3.1.5. Group 5 - Electrical system: Electrical system, headlight, taillight, signal lights are separate.

3.1.6. Group 6 - Bodywork and accessories: Entire bodywork and accessories are separate. Note: Appendices 1 and 2 attached to this document illustrate the level of separation of parts and sub-assemblies for type CKD1 for male and female motorcycles, without technical significance regarding structure. If the motorcycle structure has special parts different from these appendices, such parts will not be considered in the assessment of the assembly type.

3.2. CKD2: Different from type CKD1, all engine parts, transmission, and generator are separate. In cases where the engine, transmission, and generator are allowed to be imported in assembled form based on the license for production and assembly of two-wheeled motorcycles, domestic-produced parts must have a value of at least 5% of the total value of the complete vehicle.

3.3. IKD1: Different from type CKD2, some parts belonging to Groups 6 and 3 are produced domestically. Domestic-produced parts must have a value of at least 10% (if the engine, transmission, and generator are separate) or at least 15% (if the engine, transmission, and generator are allowed to be imported in assembled form) of the total value of the complete vehicle.

3.4. IKD2: Different from type CKD2, there must be additional frame parts and some parts belonging to Groups 4 or 5 produced domestically, while the engine, transmission, and generator must be separate. The total value of domestically produced parts must reach at least 30% of the total value of the complete vehicle.

3.5. IKD3: Different from type IKD2, the total value of domestically produced parts must be at least 60% of the total value of the complete vehicle, of which the value of engine parts must account for 30% of the engine's value.

4. The assembly facility for two-wheeled motorcycles must have assembly, processing, and testing equipment meeting the corresponding technical conditions for each type of assembly mentioned above.

5. The assembly facility must organize quality control of vehicles and issue test certificates meeting requirements for vehicles leaving the factory.
