ARAI / ICAT auto-parts compliance, can you handle homologation refs in Magento?

Yes, this is critical for any Chakan / PCMC auto-parts merchant selling road-legal components. ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) is HQ-Pune and is the primary homologation body for vehicle / auto-parts certification in India. ICAT (International Centre for Automotive Technology, Manesar) is the parallel body. Both issue Type Approval Certificates (TAC) for parts that must conform to AIS (Automotive Industry Standards), brake pads, lights, mirrors, tyres, helmets, child seats, seat-belts, EV batteries, etc. Our Magento implementation: (1) a `homologation_ref` product attribute that stores ARAI / ICAT TAC numbers per SKU; (2) the cert PDF as a media-gallery file linked to the product; (3) the TAC reference auto-prints on every invoice + Maharashtra eWaybill + B2B dealer-facing rate-card; (4) a customer-facing "compliance" tab on PDP that surfaces the cert number + expiry; (5) an admin-side expiry tracker that alerts when a TAC is within 90 days of expiry. Critical for parts sold to OEM-suppliers in the Mercedes / VW / Bajaj Chakan ecosystem.
