BESTAR Holdings Secures Ireland’s First-Ever R165 Regulation E-Mark Certification!
Recently, the BESTAR Holdings alarm product series has successfully obtained the EU E-Mark Certificate, officially issued by Ireland’s Department of Transport (Competent Authority Code E24). This certificate not only serves as critical validation of the products' compliance with EU regulatory requirements but also marks BESTAR Holdings as the inaugural holder of Ireland's first-ever E-Mark Certificate issued to an OEM component manufacturer under the EU’s latest Vehicle Acoustic Standard, Regulation No. R165.
What is E-Mark?
The E-Mark Certificate is the European Union’s mandatory conformity certification for vehicles and components, verifying compliance with European safety and environmental standards. It applies to whole vehicles (cars/motorcycles) and parts (e.g., lights, tires) and is identified by an encircled ‘E’ with the issuing country’s number (e.g., E1 for Germany, E24 for Ireland). This certification is an essential market access passport for products entering the European Economic Area.
Understanding Regulation R165
Within the EU’s stringent automotive regulatory framework, Regulation (EU) No. R165specifically mandates the performance standards for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS)–including backup alarms and electric vehicle warning sounds. It requires these alerts to be clearly audible, reliable, and detectable by pedestrians under diverse environmental conditions, critical for safety compliance. Meeting R165 is a core technical prerequisite for vehicle entry into the European market. Gaining certification to this regulation is effectively securing an essential passport to the European premium automotive segment.
BESTAR Holdings’successful attainment of Ireland’s first R165 certification powerfully demonstrates its robust technological expertise and superior product capabilities.
The BESTAR Holdings alarm series—primarily applied in commercial vehicles—has fully satisfied R165’s exacting demands. This achievement stems from the company's integrated strengths:
