Designation under paragraph (1) is made by determining whether the structure, equipment and performance of the motor vehicle in the application conform to the safety standards and whether the motor vehicle has uniformity. In this case, the structure, equipment and performance relating to the designation of a specified common structural part that has received designation for its type under paragraph (1) of the following Article (meaning a specified common structural part prescribed in that paragraph), and equipment that has received designation for its type under Article 75-3, paragraph (1), are deemed to conform to the safety standards.

When the particulars to be stated in a completion inspection certificate have been provided to a registered information processing body pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the person who has filed an application under paragraph (1) is deemed to have issued the completion inspection certificate and delivered it to the transferee.
If the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism finds that a person who has filed an application under paragraph (1) is in violation of a provision of an Order of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism based on the provisions of Article 76 (limited to the part relating to designation under that paragraph), the Minister may order that person to take measures necessary to rectify the violation, or suspend the effect of designation under that paragraph until the Minister finds that measures necessary to rectify the violation have been taken.

when, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism having found it particularly necessary to achieve the purpose of Article 1 and intended to have the Minister's officials inspect motor vehicles, books and documents and other articles, or question persons concerned, at the offices or other places of business of the designated foreign manufacturer, etc. or at the places where motor vehicles that have received designation for their type are found to be located, the inspection has been refused, obstructed or evaded, or no statement has been made or a false statement has been made in response to the questions.
