The Hosting Organisation
The Center for Vehicles of Croatia (Centar za vozila Hrvatske d.d. (CVH)) has been carrying out technical inspection of vehicles since 1972, when this activity was present in only a few European countries.
As an expert organisation, CVH organises and monitors the work of all vehicle technical inspection stations (STP) in Croatia, continually publishes instructions for vehicle technical inspection and related activities, calibrates measuring devices at inspection stations, ensures adequate IT and technical support for all the activities at inspection stations, trains present and future employees and introduces new technologies in technical inspection and related activities.
The mission of CVH is to ensure that the activities of technical inspection of vehicles and extending vehicle registration documents are carried out in a professional and legal manner, and so are the activities of inspecting vehicles for the purpose of determining compliance (homologation) and other activities carried out at technical inspection stations.
