The Alliance des laboratoires d’essai européenne (ALEE) has been officially designated for all test scopes defined by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), covering 651 approved test procedures across the full range of UN/EU and German regulations.
With this expansion, ALEE is authorized to conduct whole vehicle type approvals and individual approvals for all vehicle categories – including passenger cars, agricultural vehicles, motorcycles, trailers and trucks.
The expanded designation enables ALEE to carry out type approvals under the following EU framework regulations: passenger cars, buses, trucks, trailers under regulation (EU) 2018/858; agricultural and forestry tractors, trailers, etc. under regulation (EU) 167/2013; and motorcycles, light three- and four-wheel vehicles under regulation (EU) 168/2013.
The portfolio covers almost all vehicle types placed on the European market.
ALEE is also designated to handle German national type approvals under §20 StVZO and German individual approvals under §21 StVZO and Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858.
“The expansion of our designation confirms the strength of our innovative model,” said Stefano Mastrogiovanni, managing director of ALEE. “Our alliance brings together leading specialist laboratories from across Europe – efficient, quality-driven and highly competent. We simplify and streamline the type approval process.”
