From a Technical Modification to a Traceable, Trusted System

Confidence in an adapted vehicle grows when we can identify who designed it, who carried out the work, what was done, how quality was checked and where the records are.

A Specialized System for Quality, Accountability and Traceability

AMKAN WAV connects the technical design, delivery organisation, work performed on a specific vehicle, quality, documentation and vehicle record.

AMKAN develops scheme requirements, qualifies delivery organisations, reviews technical solutions and their models and revisions within the scheme, and strengthens quality, audit, traceability and surveillance.

The goal is more reliable adapted vehicles and technical work with a clear source, responsible modifier and record.

Quality Depends on a Chain of Responsibilities

An appropriate component still needs a defined design and an accountable party when installed on a particular vehicle. Confidence requires clear answers about the technical solution, its design owner, the modifier, the work performed, the quality checks and the records.

Technical design
Delivery organisation
Work on the vehicle
Quality inspection
Vehicle file
Traceability and surveillance

The value lies in clear links between design, implementation, quality and records, with a named responsibility at each stage.

From Design to Vehicle

The scheme connects each stage so a design, modifier, recorded job, quality result and vehicle history can be traced within the system.

  1. Known design and technical file
  2. Solution, model and revision review
  3. Qualified modifier
  4. Work on a specific vehicle
  5. Quality control and inspection
  6. Entry in the vehicle file
  7. Traceable scheme status
  8. Surveillance and improvement

Statutory inspection, acceptance and registration remain within the competent government and regulatory processes.

Who Makes the Adapted Vehicle?

Technical Design Owner

Develops the conversion design, specifications and supporting documents, and remains responsible for the technical design and its file.

Qualified Workshop / Modifier

Performs work on a specific vehicle within its scope through qualified personnel, and is responsible for the quality, inspection and documentation of that work.

AMKAN WAV

Acts as the WAV Scheme Owner for qualification, quality, traceability, audit and surveillance; it does not perform workshop modifications.

Government / Regulatory Authorities

Retain their statutory processes and decisions for inspection, acceptance, registration and approvals.

Qualification under an AMKAN scheme does not amount to government approval or statutory acceptance of a vehicle.

One Vehicle, One File, A Reviewable History

Each vehicle within the scheme has a file linked to its original vehicle identification number (VIN). The VIN remains the primary identifier, while scheme records hold evidence of the adaptations performed.

Technical Solution

The design, model and revision of the solution and its associated technical file.

Modifier and Job

Who carried out the work and what was fitted or changed on the particular vehicle.

Quality and Records

Inspection findings, outputs and evidence that preserve the history of work and responsibilities.

Traceable Status

A scheme marker can link to the vehicle file and status; it does not replace the original VIN.

Traceability comes from a record that explains the work, its responsibilities and status, not from the marker itself.

More Reliable Vehicles, More Mobility Options

The aim is for qualification, quality and traceability to support a broader range of trustworthy vehicle adaptations that respond to different personal, institutional and transport needs.
