The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006

Regulation 50(11)

SCHEDULE 10 REASONS FOR EXAMINATION NOT TAKING PLACE OR NOT BEING COMPLETED

1.  The applicant for the ADR certificate does not, after being requested to do so, produce the notice of appointment (if any) relating to the inspection and—

(a) in the case of a motor vehicle either the registration document relating to the vehicle or other evidence of the date of its first registration or, in the case of a motor vehicle not registered before the date of the inspection, evidence of the date of its manufacture; and

(b) in the case of a trailer, evidence of the date of its manufacture.

2.  The particulars relating to the vehicle and shown in any application relevant to the inspection are found to be substantially incorrect.

3.  The vehicle is one as respects which it has been stated in the application that it is to be used on roads to draw a trailer and in the last notice of appointment preceding the inspection it was required that the vehicle should be accompanied by a trailer which is to be so drawn, and the vehicle is not accompanied by such a trailer.

4.  The vehicle is a trailer, and is not accompanied by a motor vehicle suitable for drawing that trailer and capable of operating any braking system with which the trailer is equipped.

5.  There is not permanently affixed to the chassis or main structure of the vehicle in a conspicuous or easily accessible position so as to be readily legible either—

(a) the chassis or serial number shown in the registration document relating to the vehicle; or

(b) if no such number is shown or exists, the identification mark allotted to the vehicle by the Northern Ireland competent authority.

6.  The vehicle or any motor vehicle by which it is accompanied, or any part of any equipment of the vehicle or any such accompanying vehicle is so dirty or dangerous as to make it unreasonable for the inspection to be carried out or the applicant for the ADR certificate does not produce any certificate required in the last notice of appointment preceding the inspection, that a vehicle used for carrying toxic, corrosive or inflammable loads had been properly cleaned or otherwise made safe.

7.  An inspector is not able to complete the inspection without the vehicle or, in the case of a trailer, the motor vehicle by which it is accompanied being driven and such vehicle or trailer or, as the case may be, the accompanying vehicle is not provided with fuel and oil to enable it to be driven to such extent as may be necessary for the purpose of the examination.

8.  In the case of a trailer, an inspector is not able to complete the inspection unless the motor vehicle by which it is accompanied is driven on a road, and that motor vehicle cannot be driven without committing an offence under section 29 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994(1) because no licence under that Act is in force for such vehicle.

9.  The vehicle or any trailer by which it is accompanied is not loaded or unloaded in the manner (if any) specified for the purpose of the inspection either in the last notice of appointment preceding the inspection or by the Northern Ireland competent authority.

10.  An inspector is not able to complete the inspection due to the failure of a part of the vehicle or, in the case of a trailer, any vehicle by which it is drawn or intended to be drawn, which renders the vehicle, or any such accompanying vehicle incapable of being moved in safety under the power of the vehicle, or as the case may be, the accompanying vehicle.
