A new laboratory for testing imported cars has been opened in Vladivostok.

The launch of a new testing laboratory of FSUE NAMI for mandatory conformity assessment of cars imported into Russia took place in Vladivostok. It is based on the facilities of the AIT company, part of the Sollers Group, the company said in a statement received by Izvestia on October 2.

The laboratory provides testing services for imported single vehicles. They are a mandatory procedure for obtaining a Vehicle Design Safety Certificate (SBCTS) and further registration of an Electronic Vehicle Passport (EPTS).

The site is located in close proximity to the ports of arrival of imported vehicles, so the delivery of vehicles to the test facilities takes a minimum of time, Sollers noted.

The equipment includes three test lines with diagnostic complexes and environmental parameter verification systems that meet the requirements of the regulatory documentation in force in the Eurasian Economic Union. The design capacity of the facility is up to 130 thousand vehicles per year.
