San Marino’s assigned code is ‘E57,’ which will distinguish a set of components, systems, or technical entities in general that, once they meet the requirements, specifications, and tests established by UNECE Regulations, can be placed on the market.

Since 2016, the Approval Authority has the power to issue these certifications, thanks to the agreement and partnership established with the Technical Service ATS San Marino and ATS Europe. These companies, part of the ATS Group, are capable of conducting all the tests required by UNECE Regulations, aimed at obtaining the Approval.

Approval of components, systems, and vehicles, in general, is mandatory for their placement on the market: every country issuing approval certificates has an identifying code that subsequently enables vehicle registration within the International Community.
