PF-HOMOLOGATION, Change -, 2004-07-06, Page 1 Copyright DaimlerChrysler Corporation DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION NO: PF-HOMOLOGATION Performance Standard Date Published: 2004-07-06 Category Code: A-2 Change: - EASL Req: No Restricted No PRODUCT HOMOLOGATION 1.0 GENERAL 1.1 Purpose of this Standard This standard has been published to: - explain the homologation process - describe the requirements for homologating vehicles including the identifying of homologation parts and the mandatory requirements for the review of proposed changes (i.e. Change Notices (CN’s)) to those parts to enable the sale of vehicles within internationally regulated countries. (Refer to Appendix A) 1.2 Coverage of this Standard This standard covers engineering (including service), assembly, internal and external suppliers for vehicles intended for sale in the European Union (EU), AMESA (Africa, Middle East and South America) and Asia-Pacific regions. Within these regions, there are key regulated markets which require homologation: BUX (Built-up Export) and CKD (Complete Knock Down) or KDX (Knock Down Export). There are two primary schemes used for certifying vehicles; Self-Certification and Type Approval. 2.0 REQUIREMENTS 2.1 Design Requirements Product Engineers must be aware and familiar with this standard PF-HOMOLGATION and the homologation certification process and requirements as they relate to their parts, processes and system functions. In designing, the Product Engineer must identify parts as Homologation parts (Refer to Section 4.0) and notify Vehicle Engineering Homologation to ensure compliance when making subsequent changes (Refer to Section 5.0). 2.2 Assembly/Manufacturing Requirements Manufacturing must ensure that the parts and vehicles meet the engineering specifications to meet homologation certification requirements. All homologation parts/vehicles require: - control of the manufac
