TUV USA’s Post

The European peers-project-eu continues to keep RAN busy as it develops its new approach to #standards in the field of #CBRNe. There are so many different standards bodies and ways of demonstrating standardisation that the whole process can be confusing at best - * how do you search for existing standards? * how do you compare conflicting or complementary standards? * how do you create a new standard with maximum credibility and impact? * where do CEN Workshop Agreements #CWA's fit into the picture 😕 all very real and challenging problems. As a new approach matures over the 3 year life of the project, RAN's role is to develop a series of demonstrations that will enable users, such as responders, to test and evaluate the new system as it develops. The initial focus of these “demonstrators” will be: * 📖 Responder Standard Operating Procedures (#SOPs) * 🎖 The use of #NATO Guidance in a civil environment and * 🚒 Responder #decontamination involving medical countermeasures. We’re looking forward to the launch of these three evaluations later this year and will shortly be issuing invitations to a newly-formed Group designed to keep stakeholders updated on progress.

Automotive History of the 1956 Pontiac

I came across this video and it is on one side hilarious but on the other side sad. It really provides a very good example why proper specifications are needed. Imagine if you buy a car and you stop at the traffic light beside the exact model you bought. You start talking to the owner and the price was the same. But your car is 2 cm higher, his is 2 cm wider, your car accelerates faster, his consumes less. And we could continue endless. Would you be happy? If you would go back to claim that your car is not as fast as his would you be able to place this claim? Or would you get rejected as "according to specifications". So it is clear that in the planning phase of any development specifications are very important and should be reviewed in details with an FMEA mindset. And of course no offence towards the USA, but please fix it ;)

This video is now live, it’s a little different to my usual videos, in this video it will show you what to expect on WAV (wheelchair Accessible Vehicle) Demonstration with Lewis Reed WAV Ltd 😊 Let me know if you have had a WAV demonstration before and also let me know what you think of the video 😊 Click the link below and take a look https://lnkd.in/eJdSUjNy

Yesterday, I met with James Chai, the assistant chairman for the CCPIT Automotive Subcouncil. We had an in-depth discussion about the challenges and opportunities that Mexico is encountering with the arrival of Chinese car manufacturers. Some of the challenges we touched on include the competitive pressure on local manufacturers, the need for infrastructure improvements, and the potential impact on labor markets. On the other hand, we also discussed the opportunities such as the potential for increased foreign investment, technology transfer, and the creation of new jobs. This influx of Chinese car manufacturers could also drive innovation and elevate Mexico's position in the global automotive market.

What vehicles are Dash Cams compatible with? Can the cost of a Dash Cam be included in a customer’s finance package? How can I compete against high street retail prices?   These are just some of the questions I receive about including Dash Cams in aftersales programmes. This month, I have answered some of the most common questions motor dealers ask in The IMDA’s magazine. Read more on page 20: https://lnkd.in/eKsFYsDM   #IMDA #DashCams #Aftersales #Automotive
