Full Vehicle Homologation Services

Automotive safety and governmental standards vary greatly around the world. Automotive homologation is the process of certifying that these standards have been satisfied. Whether on a full vehicle or component level, the process of testing and subsequent reporting to the regulatory authorities that allow the vehicle to be sold in the U.S. or Europe is arduous, time-consuming, and subject to strict requirements. Intertek’s global experience can be your single source to help guide you through the maze and get you to market faster and more efficiently.
