Since the introduction of the type approval legislation we have not sold Cat and DPF combined units. We were confident that as the unit had a cat element the unit could and should be approved to adhere to the spirit and letter of the law. The VCA have now confirmed that the legislation does apply to Cat and DPF combined units, therefore type approval is required on these parts.
We are in the process of obtaining type approval for these parts and hope to have legally saleable parts available within the next 6 months. In the mean time we urge you to be cautious when purchasing Cat and DPF combined units from any other suppliers as the VCA do have the potential to fine you up to £5,000 per unit sold if these do not have type approval.
