What is the certification Label?

• It’s a permanent label found on the B-pillar or the driver’s door edge.
• Federal law, enforced by (NHTSA), requires every new vehicle to have a certification label.
• NHTSA stipulates the minimum content and even the size of the letter on the label.
• The type of material and the expected life of the label is spelled out by NHTSA as well.
• In fact, Automotive ID’s replacement program was reviewed by NHTSA at the request of US Senator Christopher Bond. Although NHTSA cannot endorse a particular program, Automotive ID was informed that their replacement program is not in violation of any federal regulations.
• This label is like any other part that is replaced in the collision repair process.
• It’s not the VIN plate or tag – it’s a secondary identifier of the vehicle only.

Replacement Labels are new to the collision repair industry.

A replacement driver door or a repaired B-pillar requires the certification label to be removed from the vehicle.

• Some shops torch the label out and throw it in the glove box.
• Some shops torch it out, make a copy and tape the paper copy back on.
• In either case, the shop isn’t getting paid for torching or copying the label.

Absent a solution, most shops just ignore it.

Automotive ID has the solution.

• Certification Labels for all makes and models in as fast as 24hours.
• An online ordering system that’s easy to use and maintains a thorough record of each replacement label issued.
• No emailing, no faxing, and no phoning-in credit card numbers. It’s all done online.
