Key points to consider when planning your type approval application

To achieve type approval for a new model of vehicle you must firstapply to the C- in the &K or the equivalent %ody in another mem%erstate for an assessment of your production processes and other tests todetermine that you have quality management standards in place"

?nce you are awarded type approval for a vehicle you manufacture,you will %e solely responsi%le for ensuring CoP remains valid for allvehicles you produce under that approval" Aou will then %e a%le to issuea Certificate of Conformity for each vehicle of that type you produce"

Aou must have separate type approval for certain components,

where previously it was optional" Items li#e engines, lights, tyres, mirrorsand glass all have to have their own approvals" The installation of theequipment is covered %y .C >T-"

The &K national approval schemes will not %e accepted automatically%y other .&mem%er states" Producers who want to export products withnational certification will have to apply directly to the type approvalauthority in the country to which they wish to export" There are howeverprocesses in place to facilitate the mutual recognition of national typeapprovals"
