Most countries, even if not formally participating in the 1958 agreement, recognize the ECE Regulations and either mirror the ECE Regulations’ content in their own national requirements (ex. Australian Design Rules:- ADR’s), or permit the use and importation of ECE-approved vehicles, or both.

OSHA maintains a list of approved testing laboratories, known as Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories.
