Electric Vehicles
Type approval and EU Battery Regulation compliance for EV manufacturers — a regulatory landscape that is still evolving and requires close technical attention.
Type Approval for Electric Vehicles
EV approvals introduce regulation requirements that do not apply to conventional powertrains — including high-voltage system safety (UNECE R100), electromagnetic compatibility, and, for EU market entry, the EU Battery Regulation. The regulatory landscape for EVs is still evolving, and getting approvals right first time requires close attention to the current state of the rules. KaM works across EV start-ups and established OEM EV programmes.
The EU Battery Regulation creates a new layer of compliance for any manufacturer supplying battery-integrated vehicles to European customers — with carbon footprint declarations, performance thresholds, due diligence requirements, and Digital Battery Passport obligations that conventional vehicle approval programmes do not address. KaM's Kiwa authorisation means EV manufacturers can address both type approval and EUBR requirements through a single engagement.
