Camera Monitor Systems for the Automotive Industry
Safer with Better Visibility
In any vehicle – be it a truck, tractor, or bulldozer – large dimensions and energy-efficient design can increase a driver's blind spot. Camera monitor systems and other systems for indirect vision solve this problem by enlarging the field of vision - a solution soon available for cars. We test your camera monitor system for performance and usability and evaluate it for compliance with EU Directive 2003/97/EG on rear-view mirrors. Certificates from TÜV Rheinland also help you meet application requirements for EC type approval from authorities, such as the German Federal Office for Motor Vehicles.
Benefits at a Glance
By having TÜV Rheinland test your camera monitor systems, you can:
- Improve your market position and reduce your liability risks
- Increase traffic safety
- Boost confidence in the quality of your products
- Benefit from short testing periods to ensure fast rollout
Our Tests for Camera Monitor Systems at a Glance
- Evaluations during the development stage
- Tests based on the quality standards of EC Directive 2003/97/EC and ECE-R 46 for EEC type approval
- Usability and user acceptance
- Performance characteristics, such as environmental/air conditioning tests, assembly checks, durability, and quality of user manuals
- Tests for worldwide commercial licensing
The Requirements of EU Directive 2003/97/EC
- Compulsory minimum fields of vision with special requirements for certain vehicles
- Certain vehicles must be fitted with additional mirrors, such as front mirrors on trucks
- Requirements regarding the shape of camera monitor systems
- Certain mirrors must be replaced with other systems for indirect vision, such as camera monitor systems
These tests are a prerequisite for EEC type approval by the Federal Office for Motor Vehicles. We provide the certificate so you can apply for this approval.
