UNECE Type Approval
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe approvals, processed directly through VCA as E11 authority. Recognised across 60+ signatory countries.
What This Service Covers
KaM processes UNECE approvals directly through VCA as an E11 authority — covering noise, emissions, dynamics, structure, lighting, vision, electrical, and audit categories. The UNECE framework is the global benchmark for vehicle and component certification, and E-marks issued under it are recognised across more than 60 signatory countries. OEMs and component suppliers entering any export market where E-marks are recognised need UNECE approval, and KaM's direct VCA relationship means applications enter a known, trusted channel.

UNECE Type Approval FAQ
Direct answers about unece type approval from KaM Auto specialists.
Does KaM Auto handle UNECE type approval for both vehicles and components?
Yes. KaM Auto handles UNECE type approval for complete vehicles, systems, and components, including passenger vehicles, two-wheelers, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery, EVs, tyres, lighting, restraints, helmets, and automotive electronics.
Which UNECE regulations apply to my vehicle or component?
KaM Auto identifies the applicable UNECE regulations during the scope review by checking the vehicle category, component type, target markets, and technical specification before testing or dossier work begins.
Can one UNECE approval support more than one export market?
KaM Auto uses UNECE approvals because an E-mark issued by VCA as E11 authority can support access to multiple UNECE signatory markets, reducing duplicate testing when the same regulatory scope can be reused.
Does UNECE type approval cover UN Regulation 13 for heavy-duty braking?
Yes. KaM Auto treats UN Regulation 13 as a core braking regulation for many heavy commercial vehicle and trailer programmes. During scope review, KaM checks whether UN R13 or another braking route such as UN R13-H applies to the vehicle category.
What regulation governs EMC compliance for vehicle electronics?
UN Regulation 10 is the main UNECE route for electromagnetic compatibility. KaM Auto maps UN R10 requirements for vehicles, electronic sub-assemblies, EV power electronics, and component approval programmes where EMC evidence is required.
Is UN Regulation 100 relevant to EV type approval in India?
UN Regulation 100 is relevant when an electric vehicle or electric powertrain is being prepared for UNECE-aligned export approval. KaM Auto uses UN R100 to assess high-voltage safety, REESS requirements, and the evidence needed for EV approval routes.
