e-Mark and E-Mark
According to the European Economic Commission regulations and the provisions of EU directives, in order to enter European market, cars, motorcycles
and a variety of components and systems must be certified to meet the basic requirements of traffic safety and environmental protection. E-Mark and e-Mark are the European conformity
marks issued by the transport sector, indicating that the productscomply with relevant laws and regulations or directives. Vehicles and related products need E-Mark or e-Mark
certification to be legally sold in Europe.
In Europe, vehicle certification system consists of the following two common parts:
I. EU certification (referred to as EC), the e-Mark:
e-Mark is based on EU Directive and is a safety certification mark which the European Commission require that member states apply it on motor vehicle,
parts and systems. Testing organizations must be a technical service organization of EU member, and the issuing institution is the government transport sector of the EU member.
Products certified by e-Mark will be recognized by all EU member states. e-Mark logo is a rectangular frame, for vehicles whether moving or stationery, which is for auto products
in vehicles, such as: car charger, car lamp / flashlight, car air pump, car massage / heating cushions, car fans, car kettles, car refrigerator, car coffee maker, in-car TV /

Vehicle Tracking Systems and e-Mark/E-Mark
The European Commission has published the Directive “2004/104/EC” on 13th November 2004 followed by “2005/49/EC”, “2005/83/EC”, “2006/28/EC” and the new adoption
directive “2009/19/EC” on 12th March 2009
concerning the EMC of motor vehicles and their electrical and electronic components, which forms part of European legislation for automotive type approval.
The Directive “2004/104/EC”, adopted by “2005/49/EC”, “2005/83/EC”, “2006/28/EC” and “2009/19/EC” replaces the previous automotive EMC directive “95/54/EC”,
which was based on “72/245/EEC”, a directive handling only the on the suppression of electrical noise from spark-ignition engines.
Equipment covered by the 2009/19/EC directive:
All Electrical equipment (including telecommunications equipment) intended to be fitted to a motor vehicle is considered to be an “Electronic Sub Assembly (ESA)” or
“Aftermarket equipment” and must meet the EMC-requirements of the automotive directive. For that reason, e-Mark/E-Mark certification which is approved after stringent EMC and other
tests is an indicator of conformity of a GPS based vehicle tracking device communicating over GSM (GPRS/Edge/3G) network. Novatel Wireless (Enfora) Spider MT series producs are
e-Mark certificated mobile tracking devices, which our company distribute, connects your vehicles and valuable assets to you with peace of mind.
