This Site facilitates the submission of booking requests for commercial vehicle tests. A booking request submitted via this Site does not constitute a confirmed booking. A booking request will not result in a booking unless and until the selected Commercial
Vehicle Roadworthiness (CVR) test centre operator confirms the booking to the person who submitted the request via this Site. If a test is booked via this Site, this will give rise to a transaction between you and the selected test centre. Although
this Site may be used as a mechanism for booking a test and, in some cases, for paying test fees, the RSA is not a party to the transaction between you and the test centre.
If your vehicle is required to have a Certificate of Roadworthiness (“CRW”), then submitting a booking request for a CVR test or indeed having a confirmed booking for a test is not a substitute for having a CRW. It is the responsibility of the registered
owner of the vehicle to ensure that it is covered by a current CRW at all times.
To submit a booking request for a CVR test via this Site you will be required to provide certain personal, vehicle and payment details (if the selected test centre accepts online payments). Any information that you provide must be fully complete and
accurate. You must ensure that you are entitled to use any credit/debit card and that sufficient funds are available to cover any charges incurred by you.
A single booking request can cover CVR tests for up to a maximum of 5 vehicles. Payments for bookings can be made via this Site if the selected test centre has chosen to accept online payments made via this Site. Otherwise, test payments must be made
at the time of test. Should your booking request cover more than one vehicle to be tested at more than one test centre, then test fee payments cannot be made via this Site and all test fees must be paid at the time of test at the particular test centre.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all the necessary documentation for the purposes of making a booking request for a CVR test or any subsequent changes or cancellations to a booking request, making associated payments and having a
vehicle tested.
If a vehicle successfully passes the CVR test and complies with the associated business rules, then a CRW will be issued to the registered owner of the vehicle, as per the National Vehicle and Driver File hosted by DVCSD in Shannon. If the registered owner of your vehicle is incorrect, you should contact your local motor tax office.
Any vehicle that fails the CVR test will be issued a test report indicating the items which caused the vehicle to fail the test. A CRW will not be issued. The vehicle must be presented for a re-test within 21 days to the same test centre of the failed test and have travelled less than 4000kms since the test. Should any one or more of these re-test conditions not be met, it will be necessary to re-submit the vehicle for a full test, at the vehicle operator/owner’s expense.
Applications may be made for a replacement CRW if a vehicle has a valid and current CRW which has been lost, stolen or damaged. As part of the application you will need to indicate whether the original was lost, stolen or damaged. An application for a replacement CRW must be completed and stamped at a Garda station (whether you intend to submit it manually or online). Only when the completed form is returned to the RSA and the applicable fee is paid will a replacement CRW be issued to the registered owner of the vehicle.
What are your risk ratings used for and who will have access to them?
Your risk ratings, and any information contained in them, are a tool used to assist in targeting of enforcement. They are used only as a guide to assist the RSA in directing it’s limited enforcement resources more effectively and efficiently at those
Operators who may have a higher likelihood of being non-compliant and there fore pose a greater risk to road safety.
Any information contained or displayed on your risk ratings are not evidence of, or relevant to, any other purpose
Your risk rating information is personal to you as an Operator and is only used by the RSA for the purposes set out in the current legal framework. This framework relates only to the use of risk ratings in terms of frequency of inspections and to
assist in targeting of enforcement.
Communications with users in relation to applications made on this Site and booking facilities will be made via any method of communication for which a user has provided their contact details such as, for example, by email, post or by phone.
The fees for CVR tests vary depending on the type of vehicle to be tested. The RSA reserves the right to change these fees from time to time.
The fee for a CVR test is payable to the selected test centre. If the selected test centre has chosen to accept online payments, then the fee can be paid via this Site when submitting a booking request by using a valid credit/debit card.
If the selected test centre has not chosen to accept payments made via this Site, then the CVR test fee must be paid at the time of the test.
CVR Test Refunds
If you wish to be refunded any pre-paid CVR test fee, whether because you wish to cancel a CVR test booking in advance, or because you failed to present a vehicle for CVR testing at the time of your booking, you should contact the relevant test centre.
It is a matter for each test centre to determine its own policy regarding refunds. Since the RSA is not a party to any transaction between you and a test centre, the RSA has no liability whatsoever regarding test bookings, cancellations or refunds.
