Inspection and certification process

A repair certifier must create and maintain a repairer register of all repairers of vehicles inspected and certified by that repair certifier. The register must include all types of repairer including any person to whom a task is delegated, approved technicians, wheel alignment and auto-electrical services.

The register must contain a profile, including:

• company name and address
• details of facilities at its premises
• details of specialist equipment
• manufacturer approval(s)
• trade association membership(s)
• relevant qualifications of employees who carry out repairs
• evidence of compliance with relevant trade or safety standards
• evidence of technical expertise for any delegated tasks
• details of delegated tasks (if any).

The repair certifier should refer to Technical bulletin 8: Repairer categories, capabilities and requirements for guidance on repairer, repair technician, premises, and equipment requirements.
