Download the official Northern Ireland guide to maintaining roadworthiness for commercial goods and public service vehicles.
The guide covers daily walkaround checks, defect reporting, scheduled safety inspections, maintenance facilities, tyres, brakes, emissions and monitoring.
It is intended for commercial vehicle operators, PSV operators, transport managers, drivers and maintenance providers.
This is a maintenance and compliance guide rather than an application form.
Use the guide when designing or reviewing vehicle inspection and maintenance systems.
A proper maintenance system should include daily checks, defect reporting and scheduled inspections appropriate to the vehicle and operation.
Check the instructions contained within the PDF before submitting an application, particularly where fees, supporting evidence or postal details are involved.
