Project Snapshot
A quick view of the scope, timeframe, and what changed for the business.
Context
- Sector: Automotive
- Timeframe: Jan to Jun 2025
- Goal: Enable road use sales and OEM procurement readiness
The company had strong interest from OEM channels, but required certification and documented controls to move forward.
Outcomes
- ISO 9001 certification achieved
- Conformity of Production established
- Type approval requirements addressed to enable road use sales
- Ongoing internal audit support for maintaining approvals
The biggest change was removing the compliance barrier that was blocking mainstream automotive buyers.
Challenge, Approach, Results
A focused engagement that built certification readiness without overwhelming a small team.
The challenge
OEM interest existed, but road use sales were blocked due to missing type approval support and a documented management system suitable for formal approval and production controls.
- Compliance gap prevented market access
- Limited internal time and bandwidth
- Needed evidence suitable for audits and approvals
What Almade did
Delivered a clear plan and execution support across ISO 9001, production conformity, and type approval preparation.
- ISO 9001 implementation and audit preparation
- Conformity of Production controls and evidence
- Type approval pathway planning for UNECE Reg. 10
Results
By June 2025, the business achieved ISO 9001 certification, established Conformity of Production, and addressed the type approval requirements needed to support road use market access.
- OEM channels became viable
- Approvals could be maintained through a repeatable audit cadence
- Team support continued beyond certification to keep systems current
What changed
“We can now sell our product direct to mainstream automotive OEMs.”
The engagement removed the compliance barrier that was blocking road use sales and mainstream buyer adoption.

What this engagement covered
A practical combination of management system certification, production conformity, and automotive approval planning.
ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
Why it mattered here
ISO 9001 provided the documented system and repeatable operational controls needed to demonstrate consistency and audit readiness.
What it enabled
A stronger evidence trail for customers, auditors, and approvals that require confidence in how work is controlled and recorded.
Conformity of Production (CoP)
Why it mattered here
CoP ensures the product produced is controlled and consistent, supported by records and checks that stand up to scrutiny.
What it enabled
A production evidence model that supports approvals and customer confidence, while being manageable for a small team.
UNECE Reg. 10 (Automotive approval planning)
Why it mattered here
The road use market requires clear approval pathways. Planning for UNECE Reg. 10 aligned the work with the requirements typically expected for automotive adoption.
What it enabled
A structured route for test planning and evidence preparation, without exposing proprietary details publicly.
