RDW's type-approval communication, signed at Zoetermeer on 7 September 2023 by R.F.R. Clement. The box ticked is "approval extended", not "approval granted", and the stated reason for the extension is "Design and documentation update". It names SmartShunt 500A/50mV, 1000A/50mV and 2000A/50mV and not the 300A. The tests were carried out by TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V., accredited to ISO 17025, under test report NL23VZDR 001 dated 2 August 2023. The appendix limits what it covers: the electrical system rated voltage is "12 or 24 V neg. ground", and "ESA is Not Safety Related. Radiated Immunity Tests not applicable" — so this is an electromagnetic compatibility approval and says nothing about the safety of the unit.
Each standard listed is an independent claim about this specific product — one standard does not imply compliance with another.
