Legislation That Relates to Commercial Vehicle Testing
From our Dublin workshops, the Argent commercial vehicle testing team offers various testing services, from HCV testing to jeep testing and bus testing. We work in a highly regulated field for safety and compliance, and in this article, we look at the legislation that governs what we do. So, let's dive in and see what's what.
Coming into force in 2012, the RSA Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness (CVR) Act 2012 is a legal framework covering the requirements a person must meet when working as an authorised commercial vehicle roadworthiness tester or operator.
