WoF inspection 6 tonne extension – participation in trial is restricted

Inspection News issue 9 introduced a trial that is underway allowing warrant of fitness vehicle inspectors to conduct CoF B inspections on vehicles up to 6 tonne.

We’ve had a small number of requests to join the trial. To clarify, this is an initiative brought to us by our Key Service Delivery Partners (KSDPs). The trial is underway with VINZ and VTNZ and is currently restricted to the KSDPs due to the following requirements:

  • CoF B inspector required on site
  • Necessary equipment for CoF B inspections is in place
  • Training and development structure is in place
  • Safety and training plans submitted and approved by Waka Kotahi.

Reviews will be conducted over the course of the trial.

Once the trial finishes at the end of October, we’ll evaluate the outcome to assess whether the initiative can be formally established and rolled out to other interested providers.
