Seminar Overview

Selling into Europe and the global market means type approval, UN-ECE regulations, the EU General Safety Regulation, and end-of-life obligations — a body of law orthogonal to U.S. self-certification. Taught from the primary regulatory text in the ETS standards corpus (UN-ECE Regulations Index, EU GSR 2019/2144, EU ELV 2000/53, VDA/JASO), this seminar covers global homologation workflows, the key UN-ECE regulations, and the ELV/recycled-content regime now rewriting specifications. It is the international complement to the U.S.-focused compliance courses.
