E Mark certification
What is E Mark certification ?
The E Mark certification is an official conformity mark given to vehicles and their components, confirming that they meet the safety, environmental, and performance standards set by the European Union (EU) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). It is a type approval mark, which means that a certified authority tests and approves the product, rather than allowing self-certification. This certification applies not only to complete vehicles but also to a wide range of automotive components, such as lights, mirrors, brakes, and electronic parts. Having an E Mark ensures that the vehicle or component can be legally sold and used within the EU and other participating countries.
