DOT certification
DOT, the English abbreviation of the US Department of Transportation. The US Department of Transportation was established in 1967 and is headquartered in Washington, DC, with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Maritime Administration (MARAD), and National Highway Traffic. Security Administration (NHTSA), Office of the Attorney General (OST) and other departments. It has 60,000 employees across the United States. Its duties are to develop and improve regulations related to transportation and transportation, to make a series of regulations on various means of transportation and transportation of dangerous goods entering the United States, and to issue certificates. Committed to maintaining traffic safety and promoting economic development to meet environmental and defense needs.
history
The DOT certification system, the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS), was established and revised by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the US Department of Transportation in 1968. DOT certification is mandatory, that is, all motor vehicles and accessories sold in the United States must pass DOT certification and have the DOT logo. After more than 30 years of practical application, DOT certification has also been extended to the entire North American region from the beginning only in the United States.
status quo
Nowadays, in the eyes of North American consumers, the DOT code molded on the sidewall is a label that promises quality, in other words, a warranty issued by the tire manufacturer. Therefore, for a tire with a DOT code on the market, it is sold. The price is higher than the tires without the DOT code. They take it for granted and are willing to accept it. In the eyes of motor vehicle and component manufacturers, the DOT code represents a responsibility that unconditionally meets all applicable terms of the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) for minimum performance requirements and product identification requirements. In fact, DOT certification is a market game rule, which embodies the business spirit of "free trade, responsibility, and sharing benefits." Of course, for motor vehicle and component manufacturers, DOT certification is as important as the "knocking door" and "entry permit" for motor vehicles and spare parts products entering the North American market.
Certification and testing procedures
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) clearly states that any Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) compliance application to DOT must be known to the manufacturer for OVSC (Vehicle Safety Compliance Office) laboratory testing procedures and in accordance with DOT product safety regulations. Production is premised. That is to say, DOT specifies the laboratory testing procedures, laboratory testing equipment, test tolerances, product standard requirements, specific testing procedures, and test report requirements for each specification of motor vehicles and parts products. All manufacturers that export motor vehicles and parts to the United States must ensure that their products meet the DOT requirements for laboratory testing procedures.
Certification step
The process of submitting a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) compliance application to DOT consists of the following steps
1 The manufacturer designates a DOT application agent with permanent residency in the United States that will participate in all liaison with DOT during the compliance application process.
2 Submit the agent's designated documents to the DOT, the agent's approval document, and the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) Compliance Application.
3 Randomly select samples and send them to DOT-approved contracted laboratories for testing.
4 The laboratory submits a specific product testing plan to DOT's OVSC and begins testing after approval.
5 If there is a problem in the test, the laboratory will submit a preliminary evaluation report and a conformity investigation report to the manufacturer applying for testing, and propose product improvement opinions.
6 The manufacturer improves the product and re-submits the sample for re-testing until it passes the test.
7 OVSC and DOT approve the manufacturer's compliance application, allowing the product to enter the US market legally.
8 OVSC will conduct annual sampling inspections of motor vehicles and parts to review the effectiveness of DOT certifications held by manufacturers to ensure that products meet the minimum performance and marking requirements specified by the FMVSS standard.
The above is the general operation process of DOT certification and laboratory testing of motor vehicles and parts products. Depending on the product type and specifications, there will be differences in the details of the application process. Manufacturers are welcome to consult with our DOT project engineers.
significance
The significance of the DOT logo is that the DOT acronym is used to indicate that the product with the DOT logo complies with the main requirements of the US.DOT Directive (FMVSS MGP) and is used to verify that the product has passed the appropriate test and/or manufacturer. The test statement is truly a passport for products that are allowed to enter the North American market. For industrial products that require the DOT mark to be affixed with relevant regulations, if there is no DOT mark, it shall not be sold on the market. If the DOT mark has been added to the market, if it finds that it does not meet the safety requirements, it shall be ordered to recall from the market and continue to violate the relevant DOT mark regulations. Will be forced to withdraw from the market with high fines.
