Our Approval Process

Six clear steps from arrival to road-ready certification

Vehicle & Document Arrival

We inspect the first unit and its full documentation to determine gaps and define the correct approval route.

Gap Analysis & Test Planning

We identify missing elements (EMC, emissions, lighting, software, weights) and build a precise test plan.

Laboratory Testing

Fast-track testing with TÜV Süd, TÜV Nord, GTÜ, and accredited labs. Retests performed immediately if needed.

Engineering & Modifications

Software updates, CAN/OBD programming, mechanical parts, and all required conversions performed in-house.

Certification Issuance

Approval under Article 44 (International) or Article 45 (National). Documents delivered quickly.

Batch Conversions Across Europe

Remaining vehicles are converted at the port or customer site using our mobile European network.

Fast Cases Around 2 weeks
Typical Projects 4 to 8 weeks
Complex Projects Up to 12 weeks
Actual duration depends on missing certifications and laboratory test results.
Individual Vehicle Approvals

OUR SERVICES

Homologator provides complete end-to-end support for Individual Vehicle Approvals and all related compliance services across Europe. We handle everything from engineering checks and modifications to documentation and registration. Whether it’s an imported vehicle without a COC or a small production run, we manage each project with type-approval precision and the flexibility needed for smooth, fully compliant registration Europe-wide.

r&d engineering development certification parts software technical conversions registration

Integrated expertise across hardware, electronics, and OEM-level vehicle software.

We analyze each vehicle’s regulatory and technical requirements and translate them into executable engineering tasks. Our team combines mechanical, electrical, and embedded vehicle software engineering, enabling us to adapt both physical systems and digital functions for EU conformity. Every solution is designed for technical soundness, repeatability, and fast certification.

Consistent, scalable execution of all physical modifications required under IVA.

Our technicians perform the full scope of physical adaptations defined by engineering: either in one of our partner workshops across Europe or directly at customer locations. Prototype solutions are converted into standardized procedures to ensure identical execution across all vehicles. Final inspections are performed on-site by accredited technical services.

Accurate testing and recognized certification through accredited European technical services.

We prepare vehicles and components for all required system tests and manage the full interaction with approval authorities. Our engineering documentation ensures the vehicle meets all technical prerequisites before inspection. Final certification is carried out exclusively by independent authorities.

Clear, compliant, and comprehensive documentation for fast acceptance by European authorities.

We prepare highly structured documentation packages that follow the exact format expected by EU and national authorities. Whether for a single vehicle or multiple markets, our technical files reduce ambiguity and accelerate approval.

Certified parts engineered, produced, and supplied to meet European homologation and market requirements.

We design, certify, manufacture, and supply components needed for European compliance or specific market demands. Whether it’s lighting units, micro-LEDs, towing hitches incl. towing weight data sheets, bull bars for pedestrian protection requirements, wiring harnesses, or other accessories, we create parts that solve real-world homologation challenges.
