ECE Regulation No. 116 sets forth the uniform provisions concerning the approval of anti-theft devices and vehicle alarm systems. This regulation is essential for ensuring that vehicles are equipped with effective security systems that can prevent unauthorized access and theft, thereby enhancing vehicle security and owner peace of mind.

The regulation specifies the technical standards for the design, construction, and performance of anti-theft devices and alarm systems. These standards ensure that the devices are capable of deterring theft through robust construction, reliable performance, and effective alarm signaling. The regulation mandates that these devices must be tested under various conditions to ensure they meet the required security performance criteria.

Testing procedures are rigorously defined to ensure compliance with the regulation. These tests include endurance tests to assess the device's durability and effectiveness over time. The regulation also includes provisions for the reliability and resistance of the anti-theft devices to tampering and environmental conditions.

The TAT Lab in Iran is authorized to perform testing and certification for compliance with ECE Regulation No. 116. This includes conducting all necessary tests to ensure that anti-theft devices and vehicle alarm systems meet the specified standards for security, performance, and durability. Notably, TAT Lab performs endurance tests using advanced robotics, ensuring thorough and precise testing. These tests can be completed in less than a week, allowing for efficient and timely certification. By performing these tests, TAT Lab helps enhance vehicle security in Iran by ensuring that vehicles are equipped with anti-theft devices and alarm systems that provide effective protection against unauthorized access and theft.
