VSCC updates Vehicle Safety Testing Standards to align with International Regulations
25. July 2024The VSCC (Vehicle Safety Certification Center) has updated its Vehicle Safety Testing Directions (VSTDs) for automotive products. Four new VSTDs have been implemented, covering Light Signaling Devices, Road Illumination Devices, Retro-Reflective Devices, and Blind Spot Information Systems. These correspond to VSTD 91 to 94 and are equivalent to UNR 148 to UNR 151. Additionally, VSTD 56-3 concerning Electromagnetic Compatibility has been amended to 56-4, and VSTD 80 regarding Quiet Road Transport Vehicles has been updated to 80-1. Automotive products usually require VSCC Certification in order to be approved for import and sale in Taiwan.
These changes reflect the VSCC’s commitment to aligning with international standards and ensuring the safety and compatibility of automotive products in Taiwan. The amendments aim to enhance vehicle safety features and bring Taiwan’s regulations in line with United Nations Regulations (UNR).
The Vehicle Safety and Certification Center (VSCC) is responsible for vehicles and products in the automotive industry in Taiwan. The authority was established in 2009 by the Ministry of Transport and Communications in the Taiwanese city of Lugang. In its scope, the certifications for Taiwan are similar to the Chinese CCC and CEL certifications.
