AMECA
The Automotive Manufacturers Equipment Compliance Agency, Inc. (AMECA) provides the same safety equipment services to the states that the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, (AAMVA) had provided since 1967.
AMECA has individual signed agreements with various states for providing equipment compliance services as their agent.
The AMECA program is a centralized one-stop program that notifies government, industry and the general public about items of motor vehicle safety equipment that have been tested by an AMECA-accredited laboratory and found to be in compliance with applicable United States standards. ARTC was accredited by AAMVA since 1994; also, our component laboratory was the first accredited laboratory in Taiwan in 2007.
