Thatcham has extended its programme of certified alternative parts and opened up the approval process to distributors such as Euro Car Parts. The Thatcham programme is run in conjunction with TÜV and inspects parts to assure users of their quality and that they will take no longer to fit than an OE spare. The system also audits the manufacturing facilities of suppliers.
