SGS Hong Kong Has Been Appointed by the EMSD as One of the Accredited Third-party Certification Bodies to Provide Audit Evaluation for Electric Vehicle (High Voltage) Workshop

SGS Hong Kong Limited has been appointed by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) Vehicle Maintenance Technical Advisory Committee (VMTAC) as one of the accredited third-party certification bodies to provide audit evaluations for EV (High Voltage) Workshop ("Type H" Workshop).

In July 2024, the EMSD announced the extension of electric vehicle repair service categories to the "Voluntary Registration Scheme for Vehicle Mechanics (VRSVM)" and the " Voluntary Registration Scheme for Vehicle Maintenance Workshops (VRSVMW)", aimed to further enhance the service level and professional image of the local vehicle repair industry.

Each registered workshop will receive a certificate and logo indicating its registered category and registration number. The registration is valid for three years, and registered workshops must display the logo prominently within the workshop for easy identification by the public. The public can access information about registered workshops on the EMSD website. This system is designed to help identify service quality that meets relevant standards. Additionally, these registered workshops and technicians will transition to a mandatory registration system in the future, making it more convenient.

Those interested in applying to become an electric vehicle (high voltage) registered workshop must provide written certification or an audit evaluation by a third-party certification body recognized by VMTAC to be considered a qualified applicant for Class H workshop registration.
