Homologation and UN ECE Automotive Type Approval Tests

Homologation and UN ECE Automotive Type Approval Tests

Automotive homologation is the process of confirming that vehicles or a particular component in a vehicle meets the requirements set by various regulatory bodies. It is obligatory to obtain this approval in order to export automobile products or components.

Homologation and UN ECE Automotive Type Approval Tests

Homologation standards are valid for all kinds of automobiles, especially for environment and safety. Before the sale of motor vehicles, automotive systems and components must be approved according to the official standards of the target countries.

Homologation is the term used for the entire vehicle approval process. Approval is a government-issued certificate that allows a product to enter the market. Initial assessments followed by testing according to standards and directives are carried out until the preparation of verified technical reports to be forwarded to the authorities for final approval.

ECE Vehicle Regulations

The European Economic Commission (ECE) aims to establish a uniform regulatory system regarding vehicle design. Vehicles that comply with ECE regulations receive an e-Mark, a mandatory requirement for all automotive components and vehicles sold in the European Economic Area (EEA).

By affixing the e-Mark to a product, automotive distributors and manufacturers can freely trade their products within the EEA. An e-Mark proves that your vehicle or component complies with the relevant UN/ECE regulations and can be sold in the EU as well as other regions registered with the ECE vehicle regulations. EU type approval is mandatory for all vehicles as well as a range of automotive systems and components.

The benefits of an e-Mark include:

  • Follow EU standards to get certified
  • Market access to the EU market and other regions covered by UN ECE regulations
  • Unlock growth opportunities
  • Avoid product recalls and lost sales revenue

EUROLABis your global partner for safely exporting vehicles and components to the EU. Our local experts offer type approval and homologation services for various vehicle categories defined in the EU, such as passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles and vehicles derived from motorcycles, trailers and agricultural and forestry vehicles.

Obtaining the e-Mark includes a comprehensive assessment of the product's performance as well as a comprehensive assessment of the testing facility. UN /ECE type approval can be complex, so using an independent, third-party technical service team can support you every step of the way and ensure nothing is missed.

After all technical documentation and test report has been completed and the conformity of the production permit has been obtained, a type approval certificate will be issued to the applicants. Manufacturers can then affix the type-approval mark to their compatible components and issue certificates of conformity for vehicles that use them.
