VCA (Vehicle Certification Agency) Certification

What VCA certification covers

VCA certification is issued by the Vehicle Certification Agency. The certificate confirms that vehicles and vehicle components meet the applicable safety and environmental conformity standards, and it is an important marker for vehicle and parts manufacturers seeking market access where VCA approval is recognised.

How VCA certification is obtained

The process runs in three stages, coordinated by Sistem Patent Kalite:

• Application: the file is submitted through Sistem Patent Kalite. We review the product dossier and confirm the applicable VCA standards.
• Product evaluation: the product is assessed independently against VCA safety and environmental criteria.
• Certification and approval: once the review closes successfully, the VCA certificate is issued, confirming that the product is safe and environmentally compliant.

Which products fall under VCA certification

VCA certification covers the following product categories and scopes:

• Vehicles: cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and other vehicles.
• Vehicle components: braking systems, emissions control systems, airbags, and other parts.
• Environmental conformity: confirmation that vehicles meet the applicable environmental standards.

These product categories are secured through VCA certification, and conformity to quality and safety standards is documented.

VCA certification fees

Fees depend on product type, complexity, and the test profile required. Each vehicle or component carries its own testing requirements, so the cost varies across projects. Contact Sistem Patent Kalite for a written quote.
