More Information
  • What is type approval and what must be type approved?
  • Who is responsible for type approval?
  • And what obligations and rights are associated with type approval?
  • Which formal and which technical requirements must be met?
  • And who will help me through the jungle of regulations?

Technical services are prohibited by law from giving advice if they carry out the type tests. So what can you do if you want to hear more than just “test passed” or “test failed“?

Contact an expert who knows the requirements from years of practical experience with suppliers and vehicle manufacturers and who has created a very practical training course in which the participants are systematically guided through the clearly structured training: our speaker Mark Haacke.

Description

Vehicles and vehicle parts are subject to approval in almost all countries of the world.

The associated obligations relate on the one hand to formal requirements, which are an essential part of the CoP basic training.

There are also technical requirements for vehicles, systems and components / separate technical units and vehicle components. Our basic training course T “yp Approval” shows the path from the identification of the relevant requirements, depending on the target market, vehicle class or area of application, to the granting of type approval.

Understanding these requirements is an essential prerequisite for being allowed to place the products on the market!

In addition to the Framework Regulation (EU) 2018/858, there are other regulations ((EU) 2019/2144; (EU) 2022/2236; …) and directives that set formal and technical requirements.

Do you know the requirements that are placed on your products?
