EBV tip: Update for the body sheet
The practical bodywork sheet in the EBV is receiving an update, making it even easier to reliably document relevant bodywork damage for the §57a inspection.
EBV tip: Update for the body sheet
Small things such as rust and body damage can also be relevant during the pick-up inspection. With the bodywork sheet in the EBV, §57a test centers can easily mark those bodywork areas where damage was found in a simple operating mask. The comment function allows the inspector to describe the damage in more detail and possibly record measures for the future. In addition to a traceable damage history, companies can also improve their assessment quality thanks to the bodywork sheet and are better equipped for possible revisions. The assessment of when rust or body damage is particularly relevant can be found in the current version of the catalog of defects. In principle, it is worthwhile to inform the end customer about rust damage early on, as it can often be repaired more quickly and cost-effectively than if entire holes have already marred the sheet metal after several winters.
At the beginning of November there was an update to the EBV body sheet: the body sheets are now tailored to the respective vehicle types. There is also now the option to enter multiple defects. This makes the damage recording and the §57a check even more precise. Big advantage: The serious defects usually start years beforehand - here a small dent with chipped paint, there a deep scratch right down to the bare metal. If the paint is off, rust can occur because the steel sheets lack a protective layer. If the rust reaches dangerous levels, action must be taken immediately as this could endanger the stability of the body.
