Catalog of defects: New update is available
Customers and users of the catalog of defects subscriptions benefit from regular, free updates. Due to the special circumstances this year, the current update has been slightly delayed. But now it is done: the current innovations and further developments within the scope of the catalog of defects have been approved. The Federal Guild of Vehicle Technology's catalog of defects is a working instrument prescribed by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology for use in the recurring §57a assessment in test centers and vehicle workshops.
An editorial committee of experts has taken on the task of keeping the catalog of deficiencies up to date in the event of changes to the law and decrees. This particularly applies to the test instructions and technical comments.
As of December 3rd, 2020, the 9th approved edition of the catalog of defects with changes and additions in the following positions is now available online to customers of automotive services:
• the inspection interval of class L vehicles has been changed to 3-2-1
• Change to the transitional provision for game detectors
