New regulation for aftermarket equipment
Since the release of the new amendment 2009/19/EC to EMC-directive 72/245/EEC for vehicles and their components on March 12th 2009, the attestation from a technical service according to Annex III C is not required any longer for aftermarket equipment, that does not control and influence a vehicle’s safety-relevant functionality.
Many customers apply for the e/E-mark to attain an improved marketing position, although the new directive allows them to introduce aftermarket equipment on the market, without type- approval and without consulting a technical service.
