VCA North America
Welcome to the home page for VCA North America, for Type Approval services for industry.
We’ve been established in North America since 1991, and now have offices located in Northville, Michigan, Ashland, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia. We have helped many manufacturers to understand the requirements of Type Approval for the European marketplace and in other regions.
Type Approval
We provide international test and certification services for vehicles and vehicle parts. Our approval certificates are recognised throughout the European Community and the wider group of European countries that belong to the European Economic Area and the Geneva-based United Nations organisation (ECE).
We are able to witness tests and also issue the final certificates in-house.
Services for Exporters to North America
We can also assist if you are a vehicle or vehicle component manufacturer wishing to export your goods into the United States. We will identify, understand and comply with the relevant North American vehicle regulations that apply to your products, including FMVSS, CMVSS, EPA and CARB requirements.
