What is TUV certification and what does it mean?
TUV certification involves rigorous testing of the applications for which the
component is designed. It includes verification that the device satisfies
the strictest European regulations for the industry in which the component was
designed for and ensures the component
specifications are stated correctly. Periodic retesting of the component is
required to maintain TUV approval and the certification is without question the
most comprehensive testing any product would undergo. In the case of a
tuning module, TUV approval means the product complies with legal
exhaust-emissions standards.
TUV testing of a tuning module includes:
-
Verifying the use of quality materials in the manufacture of an automotive product.
-
Emissions standards are similar to the original manufacturers standards.
-
No danger in the fit or use of the product.
-
Verifying that stated power and economy figures are accurate and are not misleading.
Diesel Power CR and PD modules have also attained the E-1 certification which verifies that the tested component does not damage or conflict with any other component on the vehicle.
All Diesel Power tuning products are TUV and E-1 certified!
