Details

This non-statutory code of practice provides best practice guidance for DVSA examiners conducting vehicle weight checks using:

• single and multi-plate weighbridges
• other non-dynamic weighing equipment
• dynamic axle weighers (including in static mode)
• portable weighpads

It’s been published so that DVSA is transparent about how these checks take place.
