    RDW’s online response, after the minister of transport had been questioned in parlement about the matter

    Translated section

    Each year, the RDW issues approximately 50,000 type approvals for entire vehicles or vehicle components. Driver assistance systems are also vehicle components that we assess. You can find more information about this in our dossier on Type Approvals.

    Manufacturers share market-sensitive information with us as part of the type approval process. For this reason, we are not always able to provide substantive information. We understand the interest in this application and maintain the most transparent approach possible within the legal framework of type approval.
