Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces): Type testing of vehicle wind screens Lead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):

RISE is a designated Technical service for testing of vehicle wind screens for type approval according to the ECE-regulation.

Purpose/Benefit:

The ECE-regulations are uniform technical regulations for wheeled vehicles and equipment intended to be mounted on such vehicles. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure that all products that are marketed have been type approved to fulfil the requirements in the regulations. We offer testing for type approval of vehicle equipment related to lighting and retro-reflecting devices. 

In order for a product to be marketed it has to be type approved by the Swedish Transportation Authority. As a designated Technical service RISE has been approved by the Swedish Transportation Authority to perform testing in connection with type approval.

RISE is also approved for initial assessment and surveillance audits (CoP) of quality management systems of manufacturer´s within the scope of type approval.

Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):

We use several different ackredited methods to test products against the requirements set forth in the ECE-regulations. 

We test products against the requirements in ECE R43. 

Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):

The results are reported in a test report, written in English, with an accreditation mark.

As Sweden's National Metrology Institute, RISE collaborates with industry, authorities and international metrology organisations. Together, we develop standards, share knowledge and ensure that Swedish measurements are recognised globally.

Measurements form the basis of decisions in all industries, from product development and manufacturing to trade and research. Whether automated control systems are used in the process industry or manual quality checks are performed, the reliability of the measurements affects product quality and operational efficiency. Incorrect measurements can result in products being discarded, extra work being required, unnecessary costs being incurred, and, in some cases, serious consequences for health and safety. Accurate, traceable measurements that meet legal requirements are crucial for competitiveness, product quality, and trust throughout the value chain.

RISE can support you with quality-assured measurement technology throughout the entire measurement chain. The Swedish government has appointed RISE as Sweden's National Metrology Institute. According to the Swedish constitution, RISE is responsible for maintaining quality-assured measurement technology for 32 different physical quantities, which are currently distributed across 14 national measurement sites. We calibrate measuring instruments in all areas of measurement in our laboratories and at our customers' premises. This is supplemented by certification according to international standards (OIML, WELMEC) and the development of new measurement technology for future needs. We ensure that your measurements are of the right quality, even for advanced applications such as AI models, by inventorying instrument parks, assessing requirement levels and optimising measurement processes.
