Welcome to the web site of VCA North America.

How can we help YOU?

Our certification services will help you to sell your products in Western Europe and an increasing number of Eastern European countries, as well as many other regions of the world. VCA North America provides a number of essential services to manufacturers, including:

Internationally recognised Vehicle Type Approval to EC and ECE requirements - all of which are necessary to sell your vehicles and components in these markets; and
Management System Certification to ISO or TS standards which support your product approvals and provides access to major public sector purchasers and OEM's.

The Value of Certification

Type Approval - Most countries mandate a set of environmental and safety standards, often referred to as type approval. No matter how good your product is, without the proper certification, access to potentially lucrative markets is impossible.

ISO and TS Certification - The concept of quality is nothing new but the truly successful companies have a concept of continuous improvement at the heart of their business. Effective management systems can reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and customer retention and also provides a visible sign of your commitment to quality.
