Vehicle testing and conformity assessment
Automotive Vehicle Research Center is a testing laboratory for wheeled vehicles, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 under TR CU 018/2011. At the same time it is appointed by the Republic of Armenia as ICAS Technical Service of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, within the World Forum WP.29. The applicant gets from us documents that are valid both across the EAEU and in every country party to the 1958 Agreement.
Two statuses — two levels of recognition
Accreditation under TR CU 018/2011 combined with appointment as a UN technical service means the applicant obtains, in one place, documents valid in two different legal systems.

Tell us about the vehicle — we will tell you what is needed
Often less work is required than it seems. If the type already has an approval, or if you hold approval documents under UN Regulations, part of the examination can lawfully be skipped. We check this at the first consultation.
