How does the european type-approval works?

European type approval follows a well-defined flow chart based on the provisions of the UNECE. This procedure applies in the same way in all countries that have signed the UNECE agreement. Here we can give a brief overview of the process, step by step:

1) First, it is necessary to carry out an inspection (COP) on the manufacturer, to verify the compliance of its production plant with EU standards;

2) The second phase consists of tests in an authorized laboratory;

3) A report (Test Report) of the tests carried out must be drawn up by the technical service and must be sent to the competent authority;

4) The Authority verifies the compliance of the Test Report with the European Regulation required by the manufacturer. If the inspection report corresponds to the required EU / ECE standards, an approval certificate is issued.

5) Once every 2 years, an inspection must be carried out both on the production plant and on the previously approved product, in order to confirm compliance with EU standards.

ATS is perfectly familiar with the entire type approval process and is able to guide Manufacturers through this flow chart in order to obtain the homologation certificate, then keeping it valid over the years.
