DETA is the secure internet database for exchanging type approval documentation between Contracting Parties of the 1958 Agreement, as required by Revision 3 of that Agreement. Currently hosted by Germany, DETA stores approval notices, extensions, refusals, withdrawals, and related documents including test reports and communications. Access is limited to registered users: Contracting Parties nominate a single DETA Focal Point to manage accounts; manufacturers and technical services request access via their approval authority. As of the workshop date, 41 Contracting Parties had notified their Focal Point, approximately 132,000 approvals were uploaded by 23 Type Approval Authorities, and approximately 7,735 manufacturers were registered.
