Vehicle Homologations
Vehicle homologation is the manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure that the produced vehicle meets the standards of target countries. In simple terms, it means that the manufacturer can start selling, as the produced vehicle has passed all prescribed tests and met all prescribed standards.
LOCAL HOMOLOGATION DOCUMENTATION
ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF CONFORMITY
The EU directive allows manufacturers to register various types of vehicles, such as:
Additionally, the EU directive allows manufacturers to obtain vehicle homologation approvals in one member state and sell the same vehicle in other member states, without the need for further testing.

PROCESS OF PREPARING HOMOLOGATION
DOCUMENTATION, AS WELL AS PRODUCTION OF OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES
We understand that different clients have different needs and requirements – some need our help only with consulting or issuing official certificates, others with the entire process of document preparation.
The process of preparing homologation documentation, as well as the production of official certificates, is also shown in the diagram below. Each phase is tailored to the client’s needs and can be treated as a separate unit – which means it can be delivered completely independently.
