Compliance & Certification

Two approvals: a SASO Certificate of Conformity issued through the SABER platform, plus CST type approval because a 4G dash cam counts as radio equipment. YQAuto holds CE-RED, CE-EMC and RoHS certificates on file to support the technical dossier, and can work with buyers on SABER and CST applications per model.

Yes — any device with a 4G, WiFi, GPS or Bluetooth transmitter needs TDRA type approval plus a TDRA customs release permit, and ECAS registration under MOIAT is a separate parallel track: shipments with ECAS but no TDRA approval still get held at customs. YQAuto can support TDRA applications with its CE-RED test data on a per-model basis.

SDPPI (Postel, now issued as DJID) type approval is mandatory for any device that transmits radio frequency, including 4G MDVRs and dash cams. The certificate must be held by a local Indonesian entity, and CE test reports under four years old from approved labs are accepted as evidence. YQAuto, which already supplies an Indonesian mining fleet, provides the CE reports and technical files to support the local holder's application.

Yes — communication devices with 4G, WiFi or Bluetooth must be type-approved by SIRIM QAS under MCMC regulations before sale or use in Malaysia. YQAuto's SIRIM application has been submitted and is expected in Q1 2027, built on its existing CE-RED and CE-EMC test data, and the company already serves Malaysian logistics and construction fleets.

KC (Korea Certification) is Korea's mandatory conformity scheme, tested through the RRA system, for any device with wireless or telecom functions — a 4G dash cam or MDVR cannot legally be sold without it. YQAuto's KC certification is expected in Q1 2027; the company already supplies a Korean local taxi operator with cumulative delivery exceeding 30,000 units together with a 6,000+ unit Chinese ride-hailing project.

Usually both: TELEC (Giteki) certification under the Radio Law covers the RF transmitter, while JATE approval under the Telecommunications Business Law covers connection to public networks — a 4G in-vehicle device typically needs the pair. YQAuto does not yet hold Japanese approvals and cooperates with buyers on TELEC and JATE applications per model.

Vietnam requires type approval and declaration of conformity against QCVN technical regulations for 4G and WiFi devices, administered through the telecom regulator (the MIC system), and a local applicant with in-country paperwork is normally needed. YQAuto already supplies Vietnamese logistics fleets and provides the test reports and technical files that support the local application.

CE is the baseline but often not the whole story: a 4G camera needs CE compliance under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) plus EMC and RoHS, and electronics permanently installed in vehicles may additionally need E-mark type approval under UNECE Regulation No. 10. YQAuto holds CE-RED, CE-EMC and RoHS on file for its dashcam family; E-mark can be pursued together with the customer per project.

RED (Directive 2014/53/EU) is the EU law covering every product with an intentional radio transmitter — 4G/LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth and GNSS all fall under it. A 4G dash cam must pass RF, EMC and electrical-safety conformity assessment under RED before it can carry the CE mark and enter the EU market; a camera with no radio module only needs the EMC Directive instead.

Electronics permanently installed in a vehicle generally do: UNECE Regulation No. 10 governs automotive EMC, and unlike CE self-declaration, an E-mark is granted by a national type-approval authority with witnessed testing. Many European fleet tenders and vehicle installers require E-mark on hard-wired dash cams and MDVRs, so check the tender text before committing to CE-only hardware.

Legal, but tightly conditioned: the fleet needs a lawful basis (usually legitimate interest backed by a documented assessment and DPIA), clear driver notice and minimal retention, and regulators favor event-triggered clips over continuous in-cab recording. Deployment architecture matters too — YQAuto supports local-database or EU-region cloud hosting with per-project access roles and retention settings.

Continuous recording is treated as disproportionate by German data-protection authorities; the accepted practice is short-loop, event-triggered recording that only saves the seconds around an incident. Germany's Federal Court of Justice (2018) allowed dashcam clips as accident evidence while upholding data-minimization, and driver-facing cameras additionally require works-council involvement in most companies.

There is no fixed statutory number, but 30–60 days for routine footage is the widely accepted window — long enough to investigate incidents, short enough to satisfy data-minimization. Footage tied to a specific accident or legal claim can be retained longer under a documented exception; indefinite retention without justification is a direct GDPR violation.

In the EU, consent is usually the wrong legal basis — the employer-employee power imbalance makes it invalid, so fleets rely on legitimate interest plus a DPIA, written policy and transparent driver notice instead; Germany adds works-council co-determination. In most other markets a documented notification policy is the practical minimum. Skipping the paperwork, not the camera itself, is what triggers fines.

Yes — no federal rule bans in-cab cameras in commercial trucks and FMCSA permits them; the real trap is audio, since two-party-consent states like California make un-consented voice recording unlawful, so fleets disable audio or collect written consent. The hardware itself needs FCC certification for its 4G/WiFi radios — an approval YQAuto can pursue together with the customer per project.

Wireless-communication equipment needs type approval and an import license from Israel's Ministry of Communications before customs clearance, and CE-RED test reports usually form the technical backbone of the file. YQAuto has delivered 4G devices to Israeli logistics and police fleets, and cooperates with the importer on the MoC application for each model.

RoHS (EU Directive 2011/65/EU) restricts 10 hazardous substances — including lead, mercury and specific phthalates — in electrical products, and compliance is mandatory for electronics placed on the EU market; the UAE and other markets run similar schemes. Aftermarket fleet cameras fall squarely in scope. YQAuto's dashcam family carries RoHS certification alongside CE-RED and CE-EMC.

Often yes, even though JT/T 808 and JT/T 1078 are Chinese ministry standards with no legal force abroad — many government and fleet tenders in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America specify them because existing monitoring platforms were built on these protocols. All YQAuto networked products support JT/T 808 and 1078; buyers with an existing server only need to change the server address and data-upload port, which shortens platform integration in such tenders.

Generally no, if done for legitimate business purposes with clear notice — GDPR and most employment-privacy regimes allow tracking company vehicles during work hours, but require transparency, proportionality and no monitoring of private or off-duty use. The compliant pattern is a written tracking policy, driver notification, purpose limitation, and a privacy switch or data cut-off for permitted personal use.

Yes, with a clear division of work: the manufacturer supplies RF test reports, schematics, labels and samples, while country schemes such as CST, TDRA, SDPPI or KC typically require a local applicant. YQAuto currently holds CE-RED, CE-EMC and RoHS; KC is expected in Q1 2027, the submitted SIRIM application is expected in Q1 2027, and YQAuto cooperates with customers on applications for other markets — no certificate is ever claimed before it is issued.
