From 29th October 2011 completed goods vehicles having a Gross Vehicle Weight of not more than 3500kgs (approval category N!) will become subject to the new EC requirements.

This introduces IVA to vehicles previously subject to SVA. The new IVA includes more inspection items than SVA and aligns more closely to the passenger car requirements.

In order to make the change, applications for SVA will not be accepted following close of business on 23rd September 2011

Modifications Required for IVA test:

• Side Repeator indicators added to fenders or wing mirrors – these must be wired in properly using appropriate backward current protection, sealing and heat dispersal. We use LED side lights placed within the wing mirrors to avoid the need to drill into bodywork – see the image of the white Camaro below to see one that was drilled into fender as per customer requirement

  

  

   

  

   

• Indicators at rear separated out from brake light and new high intensity LED added for amber flashing:

• Rear Fog Light – ensure light unit is appropriately e-marked, switch added to interior dash which must illuminate and display rear fog light symbol. Fog light must only operate within IVA guidelines

  

• Side lights added to headlights – these must be correctly sealed and wired to create zero additional load on the vehicle’s electrical system

All the above are included within our full import package which you can obtain an instant quotation on our Car Shipping Website here

• Side Repeator indicators added to fenders – this must be wired very carefully using appropriate relays with diode protection to ensure no additional load is placed on the vehicles ECU

  

• Indicators changed to amber and red brake light seperated from indicator – needless to say this amount of re-wiring requires expert IVA engineers such as our very own at ShipMyCar
• Rear Fog light – added with switch on dashboard that complies with the order of fog light activation specified by VOSA for IVA requirements. The light must also have correct E-Markings
• Reversing light added to rear where lights have been moved to accommodate new indicators
  

  

• Side lights added to headlights – these must be addeded into headlight units and sealed correctly to avoid condensation
