We had to achieve Type Approval to enable us to continue trading as a body builder. We took the proactive view that such legislation should be embraced in order to improve the efficiency of our business and the quality of our products.
It was in our best interests to achieve Type Approval as early as possible from both a competitive and economic point of view.
Having looked at the complexity of the task we sought help from a number of Organisations who had prepared workshops and training materials to assist body builders such as ourselves.
We employed the services of Conformity of Production and Quality System expert to assist us to Implement and train the Tip N Lift staff
We were prepared. We passed the technical inspections and testing requirements and supported it with all drawings and calculations.
Our expert, Service Director and workforce all helped us to pass our COP audit within 3 months of starting the process.
• Start now! Type approval will become more difficult as time goes on.
• Allow plenty of time. Completing all the documentation after COP and testing is done takes longer than getting COP.
• Be prepared to be frustrated. Guidance and instruction on what to do and where to go after COP is virtually non existent. Expert advice is hard to find.
