The recent introduction of WVTA on Commercial Vehicles has required new EU requirements to be applied to pre-existing designs, in the main this works but not always.

Quite often a fresh approach with the Homologation requirements taken in consideration at the initial design stage will result in a more cost effective solution, knowing what those requirements are is not always apparent.

Alternatively, reviewing an existing product with recommendations given on specific non-compliances is preferred before embarking upon a re-design. With significant experience in the OE and Conversion fields, a fresh approach by an independent can reward with reduced compliance costs and improved product design.

Certech can review initial design proposals or outline key design hard points to enable the product to achieve first time Certification without further modification.
