Compliance Management System (CMS)

Managing vehicle type approval programmes and keeping on top of legislation and compliance can be an involved and time consuming process. With that in mind VCA has developed a secure, online Compliance Management System (CMS), which not only helps you to manage the process but also provides access to relevant legislation and many other useful features. Put simply CMS will support you through certification and ongoing compliance, potentially saving you time and money.

What is CMS?

Key features include:

Initial regulatory compliance planning – understand what you need to do to bring your product to market and when you need to do it
Project management functionality – plan, execute and monitor testing and certification activities in a structured and efficient way
Secure, online document transfer – the secure two way transfer of documentation between yourself and VCA
Legislation library – access to the legislation relevant to your products
Secure storage facility – a secure repository for approval documentation, allowing easy access on an ongoing basis

Why CMS?

The new recast framework directive, 2007/46/EC, as amended means that many organisations are looking at certification for the first time. This can appear daunting so VCA developed the CMS to help its customers through the initial process and to help manage ongoing compliance going forward.

However, the system wasn’t just developed to support those new to type approval. It will also be of interest to experienced organisations looking to use valuable resources more efficiently.

CMS benefits:

Developed by an approval authority with approaching 40 years experience of supporting the global automotive industry through the type approval certification process
A structured guide through the certification process
Access to relevant legislation, including any appropriate VCA interpretations
Exchange documents with VCA online and in a secure way, saving time
Manage ongoing compliance to ensure that you comply with amending legislation by the required date
Store your approval documentation in one place, allowing easy access going forward
