Rob Ward was, for several years, a test engineer for the
Vehicle Certification Agency
(VCA) based firstly in Bristol, UK and then in Detroit, USA. This,
combined with running the homologation department at
Millbrook Proving Ground
has developed wide ranging and detailed experience of the homologation process
from both the applicant and approval authority's point of view.
Recent work, on behalf of VCA on the application of the new Re-cast Framework
Directive enables Lundazi to offer homologation support to those new to the
world of type-approval.
Over the next few months and years European type-approval (or revised
national approval schemes based on EU standards) will be mandated for all
vehicles including those built by multi-stage. Lundazi can either develop
internal manufacturer systems to be run by existing staff, or can act
as a manufacturer's homologation department.
