Essentially, any ambulances or buses over the age of 12 months are subject to ambulance CVRT and bus testing, respectively. Applying to all ambulances and buses that have more than 8 passenger seats, it's a yearly test that must be passed in order to remain road legal.

While you might think that CVRT testing would be limited to trucks and lorries, the same rules apply to both buses and ambulances on Ireland's roads. That's right, both buses and ambulances need to be tested for roadworthiness each and every year.
