ECEhyväksyntä

ECEhyväksyntä refers to the ECE approval or E-mark certification system, a set of regulations and standards governing the design, manufacture, and use of automotive components and vehicles, primarily in Europe. The "ECE" stands for the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, which developed these regulations. Vehicles and their components that meet these ECE requirements are granted an E-mark, indicated by a specific label. This mark signifies that the product complies with the safety and environmental standards set by the ECE.

The ECE approval process involves rigorous testing and verification by authorized technical services in member countries. Once a product receives ECE approval, it can be legally sold and used in all participating ECE member states, as well as in many countries outside of Europe that have adopted these regulations. This system promotes harmonization of automotive standards, facilitating international trade and ensuring a consistent level of safety and environmental protection for vehicles and their components across a wide geographical area. Examples of components requiring ECE approval include lighting systems, tires, mirrors, and safety restraints.
