About AMECA

An A2LA Certification Body since 2017, AMECA has been committed to the vehicle safety business since its creation in 1994.

AMECA" s ISO-Certification Program is only intended for the best manufacturers. Not every manufacturer who applies will be granted certification. AMECA certification is available for manufacturers of: 

    --  Aftermarket Crash Parts Replacement and OEM Automotive Lighting
    --  Aftermarket Crash Parts Replacement and OEM Automotive Safety Glass
    --  Aftermarket Automotive Suspension and Wheels
    --  Aftermarket Crash Parts Replacement and OEM Automotive Brake Hoses

AMECA was the first accredited Certification Body to require serial numbers on safety glass. Individual parts tracking gives consumers and installers confidence that the glass is safe, fits and just plain works.

AMECA's uses a triple check system for product fitment. Aftermarket suppliers are required to use three separate samples to determine fit, fitment, accessory attachment (including ADAS and HUD glazing requirements) and cosmetic accuracy. No "measure once, use forever" is acceptable.

Select lighting devices are required to have certification to ECE R10 for the AMECA ISO-Certification Program. As with all AMECA certification programs, AMECA uses existing test standards.

All ISO-Certification program documents are available free on the AMECA website.
