ATIC CCC Certification Service

China Compulsory Certification (also known as CCC certification) is the compulsory product certification in China. According to the requirements of CNCA (Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China), all products listed in the compulsory product certification catalog which does not obtain a certificate or apply certification marks in accordance with regulations, shall not be imported, shipped from the factory, or enter into Chinese market.

Certified products range from products that involve human health and safety, animal and plant life and health, and environmental protection and public safety. CCC only recognizes the CB certificates in the the IECEE-CB system that China agrees to adopt. In addition, products that are specially processed for export according to the foreign trade contract may not apply for CCC certification, but the remaining products that have not been exported must obtain CCC certification before they are sold in China. According to CCC regulations, both manufacturers and importers can be CCC certificate holders.

The North American Parts Compliance Program (ECP) promoted by AMECA (The Automotive Manufacturers Equipment Compliance Agency, Inc.) is a centralized, voluntary, one-stop process. It is a procedure for informing the government, industry and the general public that motor vehicle safety components have been tested in AMECA authorized laboratories and that they meet relevant standards. Products with an AMECA certificate will be more easily procured by North American buyers and users. AMECA provides product testing related services by authorizing third-party laboratories. Only test reports issued by AEMCA authorized laboratories will be approved by AMECA.

ADR certification

The importation of vehicles to Australia is prohibited except in very specific circumstances. Most vehicles are imported by large manufacturers that invest substantially in research and development to ensure that every new vehicle meets minimum safety standards that maintain the safest possible environment for all road users and our community. Manufacturers wanting to import vehicles to Australia for supply must first obtain a Vehicle Type Approval.
Approved companies known as Registered Automotive Workshops (RAWs) may import a limited range of used vehicles on behalf of individuals. Individuals can also apply to import vehicles to Australia. A Vehicle Import Approval is required to import a vehicle. The vehicle will not be released from customs control by the Australian Border Force (ABF) unless it has a Vehicle Import Approval.

Before a new vehicle can be registered for the first time in Australia, it must meet the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 (the Act). The Act applies to all new vehicles - whether road motor vehicles or road trailers. Under the Act, new vehicles are required to be fitted with an identification plate (formerly known as a compliance plate). The identification plate provides a clear indication to the state or territory registering authority - and to the owner and the general public - that the vehicle is ready for use in transport on public roads in Australia.
The Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 (RVSA) and associated Road Vehicle Standards Acts relating to consequential and transitional provisions and charges passed Parliament in late 2018. The Road Vehicle Standards Rules 2019, which cover the operational aspects of the RVSA, were made in February 2019. The RVSA will replace the existing Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 (MVSA) and deliver an updated and modernized system to regulate the first provision of road vehicles to the Australian market.

In Australia, the entire process from application to obtaining an Identification Plate is called Certification. The entire certification process is managed by Australian Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.
 
The scope of vehicle certification includes: Motor Vehicles, Trailers, Tractors, Bicycles, Used Imported Cars, Special Vehicles, etc.
Component certification includes: Automotive Lamps, Rearview Mirrors, Seat Belts, Brake Hoses, Glass, Tires, Retro-reflectors, Filament Bulbs, Couplings, Seats, etc.

Standard:
ADR 14 - Rear Vision Mirrors

Test Items:
General specifications, dimensions, reflecting surface and coefficients of reflection, impact test, bending-test

ATIC Japan Vehicle Type Approval Service

Japanese automotive homologation system is ranked among the world's three major automotive homologation systems together with European and the United States. The core motor vehicle regulations are the Road Vehicle Law, the Motor Vehicle Type Designation Rules, the Security Standards for Road Transport Vehicles, and the Air Pollution Prevention Law.

Motor vehicle lighting and signaling devices need to meet requirements specified in the Security Standards for Road Transport Vehicles and the Equipment Type Designation Rules. The technical requirements for most systems and components are consistent with UNECE regulations. For automotive lighting and signaling devices in case UNECE regulation is mentioned as equivalent regulation in Equipment Type Designation Rules, there is no need to apply for the type designation to Japanese authority again when UNECE type approval certificates are available. During the whole vehicle type designation, UNECE certified parts shall bear the approval mark and submit information documents and type approval certificates to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for review. For motor vehicle lighting and signal devices that UNECE regulation is not mentioned as equivalent regulation in Equipment Type Designation Rules, relevant tests shall be carried out according to the technical requirements in Security Standards for Road Transport Vehicles and the Type Designation Test Procedures, the evaluation process is consistent with the whole vehicle evaluation process.
