Link Engineering Authorized for Euro 7 Brake Emissions Testing
Link Engineering Company (LINK) has received authorization from the UK's Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) for witnessed brake emissions testing. The Limburg, Germany facility will support vehicle manufacturers with Euro 7 type-approval compliance.
Link Engineering Company (LINK) has been authorized by the United Kingdom's Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) to conduct witnessed brake emissions testing for vehicle type-approval programs at its laboratory in Limburg, Germany. This authorization will allow LINK to support manufacturers seeking Euro 7 compliance.
The Euro 7 regulations introduce limits for brake particle emissions for the first time. This requires vehicle and brake manufacturers to utilize specialized facilities with technical expertise and accredited testing capabilities for certification. LINK's facility is among the few globally equipped to provide these services.
Already holding ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and previously accredited by DAkkS for brake emissions testing, LINK's new VCA authorization positions it as a comprehensive partner for the automotive and brake industries. The company offers an end-to-end solution from development testing to regulatory certification.
"Achieving VCA approval is a major milestone that underscores LINK's leadership in brake emissions testing," said Marco Zessinger, Managing Director, Link Engineering Company GmbH. "Manufacturers are facing new regulatory demands under Euro 7, and they need testing partners with both technical expertise and recognized accreditation. Our Limburg laboratory can now support witnessed type-approval testing."
