The snow and swamp-going vehicle is not exactly a car, but still, a means of transportation. And like any type of transport, the snow and swamp-going vehicle must be registered (in this case - in the state technical supervision). And this requires certification of the snow and swamp vehicle. The cost of certification is quite large - from 50,000 rubles to 100,000 rubles, depending on the selected certification body. Read on to find out how to reduce the cost of certification.
Necessary
- - Mass of time. 1-2 months free time
- - A certain amount of money. From 15,000 rubles.
- - A lot of effort. You will have to "sweat" to save
- - The snow and swamp-going vehicle is in good condition.
- - Documents for the units from which the snow and swamp vehicle is assembled. (Gostekhnadzor has the right to check the legality of the acquisition of numbered units).
Instructions
Step 1
Search for snow and swamp-going vehicles of a similar design. The most important point to save money. At this stage, it is necessary to find people who want to certify their off-road vehicles. The trick is that for certification there is practically no difference - to certify one unit of production or a batch of five! The main thing is that by the time the testing procedure begins, the batch of snow and swamp vehicles is completely ready. How much can you save? Suppose, rather conditionally, that certification of one snow and swamp-going vehicle will cost 55,000 rubles. Batch certification - 70,000 rubles, but the amount can be divided into three or five! There are a lot of forums on snow and swamp-hooders on the Internet - find out there about those who need to be certified and unite!
Step 2
Preparation of documentation. Almost half of the cost of work on certification of a snow and swamp-going vehicle is taken up by the procedure for developing documentation (design, operational, etc.). To carry out certification after the entry of the new Technical Regulations of the Customs Union TR CU 010/2011 "On the Safety of Machines and Equipment", you will need to develop:
1. Technical description - a document containing a description of the design and technical characteristics with a general drawing.
2. Specifications - design document. Contains technical requirements, safety requirements, acceptance rules, control methods, storage, operation.
3. Passport.
4. Operation manual.
5. Justification of safety. In certification, the Safety Justification is a new document containing information on the selection of safety criteria and principles that are implemented in the design of the snow and swamp-going vehicle.
It sounds creepy … But in fact, it's not all that difficult. At this stage, it is necessary to "joke" again on specialized forums. Currently, there are very, very many of them, there are really worthy ones. There you need to find "kind people" who will share such documents with you and give you their copies, which you will then successfully edit! And don't forget - all the work can be scattered over 3 or 5!
Step 3
Preparation of the snow and swamp-going vehicle for testing. In the process of certification of the snow and swamp vehicle, testing will be required. Tests are carried out in accordance with GOST R 50943-2011. It is necessary to modify the design of the snow and swamp vehicle to comply with this standard. Most often, the following structural elements have to be finalized: the location of the headlights, the location of the footrests, the presence of seat belts for snow and swamp vehicles with a cab. At this stage, it is necessary to bring the snow and swamp vehicle into a good form - wash, paint, etc.
Step 4
Selecting a certification body. There are about 3000 certification bodies in Russia, while only a few have an accreditation scope that allows you to issue a certificate for a snow and swamp vehicle - the rest, at best, will become "intermediaries" between the accredited certification authority and you, which will lead to an undesirable increase in the cost of the certification procedure. It is necessary to turn to the Internet community again and look for an adequate organization there.
Step 5
Applying for certification. If you have decided on a certification body, and followed all the previous steps, then you will only have a routine: paperwork, contracts, payment.
Step 6
Selection of a sample of products. The certification body, together with the testing laboratory, will take a sample from a batch of snow and swamp-going vehicles. The selection criterion is "the most unsafe" (ie the largest, or the most unstable - this is all at the discretion of the expert of the certification body).
Step 7
Testing. Relax! All that you could do, you have already done, and now you just have to wait for the testers to arrive and conduct the tests. If the snow and swamp-going vehicle is in excellent condition, made of serial parts and assembled under normal conditions, tests can be carried out virtually - using photographs, measurements, videos - and this, in turn, also reduces the cost of the certification procedure.
Step 8
Obtaining a certificate of conformity for a snow and swamp vehicle.
