Thorough Examination Accredited 

We are accredited to perform Thorough Examinations in accordance with the CFTS Quality Assurance Procedure Code.

When you choose Thorough Examinations from CFTS-accredited companies, you can be rest assured that the engineer conducting the Thorough Examination has the experience and equipment on hand to carry out necessary repairs immediately — meaning your truck will be back up and running as soon as possible.

CFTS-accredited providers are obliged under a stringent procedural code to provide a Report of Thorough Examination complying fully with LOLER and PUWER, a checklist specifying what has been inspected and recording any comments made, a certificate to keep with the truck’s documents, and a sticker (affixed to the truck) to show the day, month and year when the next Thorough Examination is due.

Only companies that are officially accredited to CFTS can use the distinctive kitemark on literature, certification and reports, and can place the famous CFTS stickers on the trucks they inspect.

You can rest assured that any Report of Thorough Examination bearing the official CFTS mark has been carried out by an experienced, accredited examiner in accordance with stringent standards and quality procedures.
