With the introduction of European multi-stage Whole Vehicle Type Approval on Commercial Vehicle's in the guise of 2007/46/EC, never before has the industry been so profoundly affected by legislation from the European Commission.
A complex piece of legislation at best, when mixed with the diverse and active Commercial Vehicle conversion industry within the UK, the transition from National Construction & Use to ECWVTA is not, and will continue to not be an easy one.
Certech has been certifying multi-stage Commercials under 2007/46/EC since 2009, and with 25 years of Homologation experience, from Road Sweepers to Trailers, Taxis to WAVs, small to major OE manufacturers, for the Conversion Industry there is an unequalled depth of knowledge to draw upon when engaging ECWVTA.
An overview of the key elements of 2007/46/EC can be found in the subsections:
