Heavy vehicle testing review: call for evidence outcome

In 2023 the Department for Transport (DFT) carried out a call for evidence into whether there should be a change in annual testing for earned recognition (ER) operators.

The options included a change in test frequency, a more streamlined test or delegated testing.  

No change for ER operators

Working with DVSADfT has concluded its assessment of all options. The analysis carried out did not provide a strong case for any option that would outweigh potential safety impacts or other considerations. These include the impact on the:

  • ER scheme
  • need for legislative change
  • resource implications

The testing requirement for ER operators will remain the same. There will be no delegation to allow ER operators to test their vehicles.

You can read the full outcome of the call for evidence on gov.uk.
