A system to check whether the structure and equipment of vehicles, such as railway vehicles and road transport vehicles, meet the technical standards for safety. A common name for vehicle inspection. Usually refers to the inspection system for automobiles. This is stipulated in the Road Transport Vehicle Law (Law No. 185 of 1951) and aims to ensure safety and prevent pollution. Automobiles cannot be driven on the roads unless they undergo inspections conducted by the local Land Transport Bureau and the Automobile Inspection and Registration Office under the law and receive an automobile inspection certificate. The objects of inspection are passenger cars and freight cars for commercial use, and passenger cars for ordinary use. There are new inspections when a new automobile is used, continued inspections when the automobile is used after the validity period of the inspection certificate has expired, and change inspections such as structure inspections when modifications are made that cause changes to the automobile's external shape (length, width, etc.) or maximum load capacity. In principle, the actual vehicle must be presented for inspection in all cases. The validity period of the inspection certificate is one year for commercial vehicles, three years for new ordinary vehicles that have been designated as a type, and two years for continued inspections.
