ARAI, India’s premier automotive R&D, testing and certification organization, and TÜV Rheinland, a 130-year-old German multinational and one of the world’s largest testing, inspection and certification agencies, have joined hands to offer testing and homologation solutions to the Indian and international automotive industry.

With this association, Indian manufacturers gain a competitive advantage in the export of vehicles and vehicle components, as all aspects of testing and certification in accordance with international standards such as EEC/ECE are handled locally by qualified experts authorized by approval authorities of various countries, supported by world-class testing facilities at ARAI.

This leads to reduced lead times and cost in the testing and certification. This understanding will strive to facilitate international trade and contribute to India’s export success whilst ensuring compliance to international safety and quality standards.
