Automotive Research Testing Center

Description

Automotive Light Testing Laboratory was founded in 1992 and was recognized by AMECA of the U.S.A., IDIADA of Spain and TUV SUD of Germany for performing lighting product certification test. The lab can also perform the regulatory test according to VSTD(Vehicle Safety Testing Directions),such as vehicle lamps,safety glazing and rear-view mirrors. We have abundant practical experience to provide the lighting design, improvement and certification service to the manufacturer on vehicle lamp products development.
