Application of Simplified Waveform in Parallel Imported Vehicle Certification Using CAE Technology

Parallel imported cars, as a structural supplement to the automotive industry, rarely involve manufacturing and are more inclined towards trade. Due to the particularity of its industry, its ability to bear the cost of testing and certification is not as strong as that of traditional automobile manufacturing enterprises. Previously, the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNCA) implemented a policy of using data review instead of actual testing for destructive testing of parallel imported vehicles, which can reduce their testing costs. Since the cancellation of the data review system in 2024, the cost of parallel imported car certification has increased and the certification declaration has significantly decreased. At the same time, considering the opportunity for CAE, which has been widely used in the field of automotive design, to gradually enter the testing field, the author envisions that if CAE is introduced to replace the destructive testing project of certification testing, the certification cost of parallel imported cars will be greatly reduced, and the constraints of the industry will be lifted accordingly. Therefore, this article aims to study the introduction of CAE into parallel import vehicle certification to replace the certification technology of destructive testing in type testing. The author believes that this is highly forward-looking.
