RaceChip quality, warranty and legal information

In some countries, in order that a vehicle is permitted to operate after the installation of a performance enhancement, the enhancement installation must be registered. Following the approval of the installation by the relevant authority, the vehicle can be driven on roads in a normal fashion. Registration is mandatory for example in the following European countries: Austria, Germany, France, etc. It is the duty of the purchaser to verify the legal regulations in his or her country before using the performance enhancement on the road. The vehicle may be used in the area of racing at any time, even without registration.

For Germany and Austria therefore, we already supply many of our products with a component certificate for the purposes of registration. The performance increase can thus be registered with the relevant regulatory authorities very easily.

On the request of the customer, we also make these certificates available outside of Germany and Austria to the extent that they are available for the relevant vehicle. It should be noted, however, that these are not necessarily sufficient for approval by regulatory authorities outside of Germany and Austria.

If we do not offer a component certificate for your car or in your region, you also should be on the safe side when it comes to registration because we develop and produce our chip tuning products for all engines under the same stringent quality standards.

Even without a component certificate, it is possible in most countries to obtain approval on an individual basis of the performance enhancement at a recognized testing institute. Because the possibility of obtaining this, the exact procedure involved and the cost of approval varies from case to case and country to country, you are advised to check the details directly with the appropriate authorities.
