(Please note that registration is required if you have not used our portal service previously)
Use portal sign-in to:
Apply for a GB Type Approval(s) and Provisional GB Type Approval(s)
Applications for full GB Type Approval through the portal are only possible where you hold issued Test Reports from an EU Technical Services and require no VCA involvement in the generation of evidence. If you require VCA to undertake testing or inspections to create test reports towards a GB Type Approval, please continue applying to us through the application form as you have done previously.
