PRODUCT HOMOLOGATION
TABLE OF CONTENTS
- Describe the requirements for homologating vehicles including the identifying of homologation sensitive
parts
- 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)
This standard covers engineering (including service), assembly, internal and external suppliers for
vehicles intended for sale in regulated markets outside of NAFTA.
The primary scheme used for certifying vehicles outside of NAFTA is Type Approval.
2.0 REQUIREMENTS
Product Engineers must be aware and familiar with this standard PF-HOMOLOGATION and the
homologation process and requirements as they relate to their parts, processes and system functions.
In designing, the Product Engineer must identify parts as homologation sensitive parts (Refer to Section
4.0) and notify Regulatory Affairs Office (RAO) to ensure compliance when making subsequent changes
(Refer to Section 5.0).
Manufacturing must ensure that the parts and vehicles meet the engineering specifications to meet
homologation certification requirements.
- Control of the manufacturing process of homologated parts and vehicle builds by using a control plan.
All suppliers, or subcontractors, who provide Homologation sensitive parts subject to review by
appropriate Chrysler representatives whenever required by Product Team Engineering, RAO and/or
Procurement and Supply (P&S). Resourcing of previously certified parts or assemblies is not permitted
unless such changes are approved by Product Team Engineering, RAO and P&S.
The Product Engineer must determine the proper part identification to meet the requirements as
described in PS-4480. Homologation sensitive parts shall have a part identification as required by PS-
4480 unless incorporating the identification:
Parts must be identified as specified by engineering requirements. Product Team engineers specify
identification to meet homologation specifications, for example e-marking, VIN markings including engine,
as provided by country standards, requirements etc.
Any Homologation sensitive part must not be shipped from the supplier, manufacturer, or assembly plant
in a known state of non-conformance. Inadvertent shipment of non-conforming Homologation sensitive
parts, materials, or an assembly requires immediate notification of the appropriate Chrysler organization.
