1. ELV Testing Overview:
ELV (End-of-Life Vehicle) refers to the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive. In the 1990s, attention to environmental issues related to automotive products increased significantly. To reduce the environmental impact of automotive products, protect the environment and resources, and save energy, various countries and regions have implemented environmental laws and regulations to strengthen the management of end-of-life vehicle recycling, improve recycling rates, reduce the environmental impact of end-of-life vehicles, and achieve sustainable growth in the automotive industry. How to handle end-of-life vehicles in an environmentally friendly and economical manner, promoting sustainable development in the automotive industry, has become a global focus, with waste management regulations becoming increasingly stringent.
2. ELV Basic Requirements:
Restrict the content and use of hazardous substances in automotive components and materials, and reduce the use of hazardous substances during vehicle design.
