As an ISO/IEC 17025-compliant Technical Service, we handle your approval process through the various European and non-European approval authorities. We evaluate vehicles, systems and components on your behalf and prepare the test reports you need in order to apply for approvals.

SGS is designated for over 200 national and international testing procedures, including EC framework directives 2007/46/EC for class M (passenger cars, buses), N (trucks) and O (trailers) vehicles, plus 2002/24/EC for class L vehicles (motorcycles and light 3- and
4-wheeled vehicles).

Our experts conduct these tests throughout our worldwide network of ISO/IEC 17025-compliant laboratories and external testing labs. Your own laboratory may also be used for testing, provided it meets the relevant requirements.
