Homologation & Type Approval

International Approval of Vehicles and Vehicle Parts
Safety- The Measure of All Things Worldwide

Safety and environment have priority worldwide. Numerous norms apply to
vehicles, systems and components - no matter whether it has to do with
the Federal Motor Safety Standards (StVZO) in Germany or the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in America.

Automobile manufacturers, suppliers, insitutions and government
agencies come in contact with these regulations with the conception of
new products. Specialists from the TV can help. They provide
consulting services which are tailored to a specific problem and its
solution and offer technical advice on how to comply with existing
motor vehicle regulations.
