Hgv Safety Inspection Intervals In Germany
We recommend a maximum interval of 6 weeks between safety inspections for vehicles and trailers aged 12 years and older. Safety Standards Service. It provides a basis for checking that vehicles throughout the EU are in a roadworthy condition and meet the same safety standards as when they were first registered. Roadside inspection. Under EU law, unannounced roadside inspections of commercial vehicles can be carried out in any EU country, whether or not the vehicle is registered in the EU.
The frequency at which inspections are undertaken should be determined by assessing the level of mechanical degradation likely to be incurred over a period as a result of the vehicle’s usage. This will depend on such factors as:- the type of vehicle, the nature of its load and theequipment and fittings it carries or supports;- the type and range of operations on which it is likely to be engaged;- the type of terrain and the nature of the environment in which it operates or is likely to operate; and- the distance and speeds at which it travels and the journey times.Assessing the above factors for each vehicle will, in the majority of cases, enable a time based programme of inspections to beformulated. Some operations, however, are subject to continuous change, or vehicles can frequently be re-assigned alternative tasks orroutes, making the adoption of a strictly timebased inspection programme impracticable.Mileage-based inspection programmes may be more suitable for some operators but will need to be linked to time.The resulting intervals in time between mileagebased inspections will need to be consistent with the guidance in Annex 4 (page 28).SITE ADMIN Posts: 9746 Joined: Sat Nov 01, 2003 5:53 pm Location: Exmoor.

One of mine got a pull at Warminster on a Monday morning. I had just fitted a new silencer the day before and the truck had passed its test 2 weeks before. It wasn't due for any inspection as I had had the conditions changed to six weekly on my O licence. The VOSA man found that a weld around one of the rear wing stays was cracked.
It wasn't loose, as they slotted into a tube, but he PG 9'd the vehicle and tried to get me to have a mobile welder brought out. He also said that it had an oil leak, which it didn't.
He hadn't put anything underneath to see if the oil had already been spilled.So the PG 9 was immediate, and he wanted it repaired on the services site. The driver called me and managed to persuade the joker to speak with me. After fairly serious debate, and after I had twigged who I was dealing with, (he had tried to screw me a while before because I refused to show him my discs, saying I would show them to someone who knew what he was doing.), we came to an agreement where the driver could bobtail to Westbury, get the stay welded and come back to get the PG9 lifted. Of course, because the guy was a jack bottom, he gave me an S rated PG9, which meant full retest and inquisition from VOSA.At the retest, they found nothing wrong, and no oil leaks, so I wrote the the TC and suggested that there was some vindictive behaviour, that they were welcome to inspect my vehicles, OC etc, but that I thought they would be wasting their time.Got a letter back say no further action.Reason for this epistle is that it is all down to the VOSA man. He says what he considers is right. In all my time I have only met a few decent roadsiders.
