Passenger Vehicles
Full UNECE and EU type approval programmes for passenger cars — the most regulation-intensive vehicle category.
Type Approval for Passenger Vehicles
Passenger car type approval involves the largest number of applicable UNECE and EU regulations of any vehicle category, and the most intensive Conformity of Production requirements. Keeping approval programmes aligned with model updates, new variants, and market expansions demands consistent technical oversight. KaM has managed passenger vehicle approval programmes for most of India's major OEMs.
The passenger vehicle regulatory landscape in India is increasingly shaped by European frameworks — as OEMs design platforms for global markets, European emissions, safety, and dynamics regulations are often the highest common denominator. KaM's direct VCA relationship means our clients' passenger vehicle programmes benefit from the fastest available submission channel for UNECE and EU approvals.

Which approvals matter most for passenger vehicles entering export markets?
Passenger vehicle programmes usually need a combined view of UNECE, EU, and GB type approval requirements. KaM Auto maps the approval route by vehicle category, destination market, variant plan, and available test evidence before testing begins.
Can KaM Auto support passenger car approvals across multiple markets at once?
Yes. KaM Auto plans passenger car approval programmes across UNECE, EU, and GB routes so documentation, testing, and authority submissions can be sequenced with less duplicate effort.
Do passenger cars need UN R13-H braking evidence?
Passenger car braking programmes commonly reference UN Regulation 13-H rather than the heavy-vehicle UN R13 route. KaM Auto confirms the correct braking regulation during category mapping and gap analysis.
Can passenger EVs need UN R100 and EU 2023/1542 together?
Yes. Passenger EVs can need UN Regulation 100 for high-voltage safety and EU Regulation 2023/1542 for battery market-access obligations when the vehicle or battery is placed on the EU market.
