Certification Process
The Engineering Process
Vehicle Certification is a 3-step process at JEC. Our aim is to certify our clients vehicles with efficiency and accuracy in mind. Each vehicle build and modification will have its own pathway for certification, however our 3-step model will cater for various designs and builds. The process can begin at any stage, regardless of the condition of the vehicle.
Submission of
Wish List
Step 1
Every vehicle build starts off with a plan. Whether it's something that is still in the making, or already built, we'd like to know what it is that you want to have certified. Our Wish List form allows you to outline details of the build. Here, the desired/selected components and parts are identified and discussed with our engineering team. If the engineer foresees the outcome of certification, a booking is made and the vehicle is either inspected or the client completes a consultation.
Vehicle Consultations and Inspections
Step 2
Depending on the condition of the vehicle, a consultation or inspection may be required. When providing a consultation, our aim is to discuss the vehicle build with the client, informing them of the applicable rules and regulations for their vehicle and how to build and/or modify the vehicle with respect to the applicable regulations. If the vehicle build has already begun, an inspection is required to assess the compliance of the vehicle with respect to the applicable regulations.
Final Inspection and Certification
Step 3
Once our engineering team ensures that the vehicle complies with all standards and requirements, vehicle testing is completed. Not every build or modification requires testing, however it is very common for a vehicle to undergo testing, such as exhaust noise assessment, emission testing or brake testing. Once all applicable tests are completed and passed, the vehicle is certified and a modification plate is issued.
Showcased Projects
Mazda 1300STB 1971
Eric approached us in early 2023 and brought in his modified Mazda 1300 STB.
The 1300 STB had undergone extensive modifications through the fitment of a 12A rotary engine sourced from a Mazda RX7 Series 2, along with a matching gearbox and a differential sourced from a Mazda R100.
Eric opted for a hybrid braking system, comprising of Wilwood calipers, Mazda RX7 brake master cylinder and rotors, and a Baer proportioning valve.
An aftermarket fuel tank was installed to ensure that after certification, Eric could enjoy longer drives. After the completion of two inspections and vehicle testing, the vehicle was certified and is now road-registered.
