Approvals and certificates
In the automotive sector, one of the most important features that products should have is road approval (ECE). It allows the safe and legal use of products on public roads within the European Union. The approval is obtained on the basis of criteria laid down in EU Directives (R).
As specialists in the field of lighting, we ensure that our products meet the relevant technical parameters and European standards to obtain the necessary certifications.
Among the EU directives that allow the legalization of our product range, we highlight:
- ECE R23 - road approval of reversing light headlamps
- ECE R37 - road approval of halogen bulbs
- ECE R87 - road approval of daytime running lamps
- ECE R99 - road approval of xenon torches
- ECE R112 - road approval for long-range lamps (driving lights)
- ECE R10 - approval for electromagnetic interference
- ECE R4 - approval for rear license plate lamps
- ECE R65 - approval for special warning lamps
- ECE R149 - approval of LED long-distance lamps and LED front fog lamps
- ECE R148 - approval of LED reversing lamps and LED rear fog lamp
It is worth emphasizing that automotive lamps should meet certain parameters, which are confirmed by homologation marks embossed on the glass or casing of the product.
The capital letter E is the approval mark, and the number indicates the country in which the approval was granted. European Union countries are obliged to accept their approvals. The most common approvals among our products are E1, E4, E8, E13.
European homologation designations:
- E1 - Germany
- E2 - France
- E3 - Italy
- E4 - Netherlands
- E5 - Sweden
- E6 - Belgium
- E7 - Hungary
