Translation of "vehicle inspection record " (English → French) :

In order to reduce the administrative burden on inspection authorities, reports of initial technical roadside inspections, including on vehicles registered in third countries, should contain only essential information recording that a check took place on a particular vehicle and the outcome of that check.

In addition to the items related to safety, security and environmental protection, the inspection also needs to cover identification of the vehicle in order to ensure that the correct inspections and standards are applied, to enable the results of the inspection to be recorded and to enable enforcement of other legal requirements.

The employer shall issue a sufficient number of record sheets to drivers of vehicles fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex I, bearing in mind the fact that these sheets are personal in character, the length of the period of service and the possible obligation to replace sheets which are damaged, or have been taken by an authorised inspecting officer.

Each jurisdiction will assess a motor carrier's record over a two-year period, as it is reflected by their record of roadside convictions, at-fault collisions, commercial vehicle safety alliance, CVSA roadside mechanical fitness inspections, and facility audit results, which will make a positive impact on safety.
