Division 3 Periodic inspections

Periodic inspections of the equipment fitted to vehicles shall take place at least every two years and may be carried out in conjunction with roadworthiness tests of vehicles.

These inspections shall include the following checks:

• that the equipment is working correctly,

• that the equipment carries the type approval mark,

• that the installation plaque is affixed,

• that the seals on the equipment and on the other parts of the installation are intact,

• the actual circumference of the tyres.

An inspection to ensure compliance with the provision of Chapter III (f) 3 on the maximum tolerances in use shall be carried out at least once every six years, although each Member State may stipulate a shorter interval or such inspection in respect of vehicles registered in its territory. Such inspections must include replacement of the installation plaque.
