Roadcert – certified for the road
Does your vehicle need to be approved and registered in Denmark? I prepare the documentation the Danish authorities require, and I advise manufacturers, importers and bodybuilders through the entire approval process – from the first Data-Certificate to the signed NIV approval, EU type approval or Certificate of Conformity (CoC).
Start with one question: is the vehicle new or used?
In Denmark a vehicle counts as used if it has previously been registered in the EU, is more than 4 years old or has been driven more than 2,000 km. The route to Danish registration then follows from the vehicle's situation.
Registration directly on the CoC after a check at a vehicle inspection, when the vehicle:
Not sure whether the CoC is complete? Ask – it only takes a moment to clarify.
National individual vehicle approval is required when the vehicle:
I handle the complete NIV case – more than 100 completed.
Used vehicles are approved at a Danish vehicle inspection (syn), supported by:
I prepare the declarations and documentation the inspection requires.

From scope and test plan through testing at the technical service to the information folder, type approval and CoC.
For manufacturers, importers and bodybuilders who want their vehicles on Danish roads: NIV approvals, Data-Certificates, G-declarations and the documentation the Danish vehicle inspections and the Danish Road Traffic Authority require.
When a modification, power increase or change of vehicle category needs documentation: handling, seat belt anchorages and seats, brakes, reversing camera, cyber security, rear underrun protection and strength analyses.
When there is doubt or disagreement about a vehicle's construction and legality, I act as court-appointed or independent technical expert and give an impartial assessment.
Professional experience in vehicle approval since 1987, and hands-on experience building cars, vans and trucks since 1980. Assessments can be supported by technical calculations or tests.
Type approval is the art of making a given vehicle fit a given set of rules – a task with many details and sub-requirements.
I have worked with vehicle approval since 1987.
The name Roadcert stands for road certification: I deliver the declarations, certificates and documentation a vehicle needs before it may be used on the road – from Data-Certificates and G-declarations to NIV and EU type approval.
I am a homologation engineer and have worked with vehicle approval for almost four decades – from handling national type approvals at the Danish Ministry of Justice / Road Traffic Authority, through 16 years as an independent consultant in my own company AutoConsult, to employment with vehicle manufacturers and bodybuilders.
Along the way I have built broad experience in product development, NIV, Data-Certificates and EU type approval as well as testing. As quality manager at VBI Group and VBI Minibus I carried out EU type approvals – including multi-stage approval of converted minibuses – and contributed to establishing a Danish test centre for seat belt anchorages.
I also work with motorcycles, agricultural vehicles and the Machinery Directive where the regulations overlap – and over the years I have been closely involved in the Danish community for modified vehicles, hot rods and tuned cars.
Do you have a vehicle that needs approval in Denmark – an NIV, a Data-Certificate, a conversion or an EU type approval? Write or call, and we will find out what it takes. I work in Danish, English and German.
