What is FIA Homologation

Question:
What is FIA Homologation?

Answer:

Since its birth in 1904, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), has been dedicated to representing the interests of motoring organizations and motor car users throughout the world. It is also the governing body of motorsports worldwide.

This combination of road and track gives the FIA a unique responsibility as an independent world body concerned with a wide range of automotive, motoring and mobility issues.

The FIA is a non-profit association which brings together 222 national motoring organizations from 130 countries on five continents. Its member clubs represent over 100 million motorists and their families. This is a powerful mandate which the FIA is proud to defend. On issues such as safety, mobility, the environment and consumer law the FIA actively promotes the interests of motorists at the United Nations, within the European Union and other international bodies.

 

Products sporting the "FIA Homologated" stamp ensure that you, the consumer, will receive and experience the premium performance, quality, and safety afforded by contributions from FIA's global network of interested and pro-active members to affiliated manufacturers.
