What is it? – Certification granted to a product that meets a minimum set of regulatory, technical and safety requirements. A type approved product requires approval certifications, drawings & photographs. These are available from Ring upon request.


Do I need it? – As part of European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA) set out in 2007/46/EC, all categories of vehicles need to meet the requirements of Directive 72/245/EEC.


Products requiring E approval – Only those components that are defined as being ‘immunity-related’ require Automotive Type Approval.


‘Immunity-related’ is defined within the Directive, but the term applies to the following:


Related to the direct control of the vehicle Related to driver, passenger and other road-user protection


Related to causing confusion to the driver and other road users by optical and audible disturbances Related to vehicle data bus functionality Related to vehicle statutory data


If your product falls within any of these areas, you will need full Type Approval for components (e-marking) Source; www.dft.gov.uk/vca


Those products defined as being ‘non-immunity related’ require compliance with the generic EMC Directive 2004/108/ EC or the RTTE Directive 1999/5/EC and CE-marking, along with a 2004/104/EC ‘Annex IIIC attestation’ from a Technical Service.


Who it affects – Anyone who builds on, converts, modifies, or adds to a type approved vehicle.
