The VDE Testing and Certification Institute is your technical service (No. KBA-P 00021-97) for electromagnetic compatibility. We are a designated Technical Service of category A, B and D by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA).

We support you flexibly and efficiently in the conversion of ECE R10 approvals to alternative components. Together with you, we work out the necessary steps for this and accompany you throughout the entire approval process – from measurement, documentation and application to the Federal Motor Transport Authority through to the final granting of approval by the KBA.
