The main objective of the EAA-ICEM project
Adherence to European Union rules
The main objective is directly aimed at developing the national evaluation infrastructure. We ensure the certification of conformity of automotive products manufactured entirely in Romania. This is a vital measure in the perspective of integration into the European Union.
We are rapidly expanding the capabilities of our specialized EMC laboratory. We are steadily increasing the number of accredited tests for the automotive industry. We perform specific tests for electrical and electronic subassemblies in vehicles.
Laboratory guidelines followed
Our new procedures fully comply with the current European Directives. This particularly concerns Directive 2004/104/EC on the automotive sector. The extremely important related directives 89/336/EEC and 1999/5/EC are also covered.
These complex and modern tests could not previously be performed in Romania. Their implementation aligns us directly with the demands of the foreign automotive market.
Laboratory expansion stages

Term: 31.08.2007
Stage III (Year 2007)
Activity: Preparation of the necessary documents for the extension of accreditation according to Directive 2004/104/EC.
Term: 30.11.2007
Stage IV (Year 2008)
Activity: Official extension of the CEM laboratory accreditation and dissemination of the final results.
Term: 31.01.2008
Technical impact and economic success
Performance in the automotive sector
The results of the project have particularly important and visible technical consequences. We can perform all the automotive tests strictly required by international standards. We design safe equipment intended for optimal use on modern vehicles.
These will have a guaranteed and very low level of electromagnetic radiation. The placement of the cable harnesses inside the car will be judicious. We carry out compliant tests for type approval of all car subassemblies.
Major economic advantages
From an economic point of view, the local advantages are truly major. We drastically reduce the expenses allocated by Romanian car manufacturers. They no longer have to resort to expensive laboratories abroad.
The design and approval of new products becomes much more accessible. There is the possibility of performing tests immediately recognized by competent international bodies. Thus, even European companies can conduct automotive tests in Romania.
Social development and exports
Excellent premises are being created for increasing the competitiveness of Romanian exported products. We expect a massive increase in the number of automotive manufacturing companies. These companies will provide vital subassemblies for various heavy vehicles.
Domestic automotive production is expanding and exports are growing steadily. This means a direct increase in the number of local employees involved. The domestic automotive sector will become a magnet for specialists.
