Euro Car Parts is committed to providing repairers nationwide with the highest quality vehicle parts which is why we’re keen to see tighter regulation around sales of exhaust systems, to help reduce the number of non-compliant products on the market. It’s also why we work closely with several of our parts suppliers, including Klarius, to lobby UK government on the topic of Type Approval.
Making Type Approval a legal requirement in the UK for exhaust systems will make sure all repairers are fitting exhausts manufactured to the same quality as original equipment (OE) equivalents and extensively tested for fitment ease, noise and back pressure. This gives customers the highest quality replacements every time and in turn helps to drive non-compliant parts out of the market.
“The industry is already on the right track to success, after the Department for Transport (DfT) announced stricter requirements for selling catalytic converters and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) into the UK last year. Similar action pertaining to exhaust parts will send a clear message that the independent aftermarket is in favour of using only the highest quality parts, every time.
