EU type approval obtained - highest quality for electronic components in touring vehicles guaranteed!

What does type approval mean in detail?
EU Type Approval was revised in September 2020 and the new framework now ensures even higher quality in vehicles. The approval, which is regulated and based on the framework regulation (EU) 2018/858, covers both vehicles and their components and is essentially used to ensure compliance with specifications for the safety of vehicle occupants and the components installed in them when they are placed on the market in the EU.

As a supplier of electronic components and switches, it was time for us to qualify our products for this market!

What are the main components of the EU type approval?
An important part of the type approval is the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test according to ECE R10 or the Automotive EMC Directive. This ensures that our products do not interfere with other equipment and are resistant to interference.
The process leading up to the type approval was also extremely rewarding and shows that we are serious about the caravan industry - because from now on we can prove it in black and white with the type approval marking with the E number on our products. As the leading supplier of switches for all types of motorhomes, we are once again proving our reliability and quality!

When did EVYTRA achieve type approval?
In April, we successfully passed the initial assessment by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). In the form of an audit based on ISO 9001, it was confirmed that we meet all special requirements accordingly.
