New IVA regs coming in May

[Petethediesel]

As I'm starting a new build 360 in July I called by our local VOSA centre yesterday, while in the area.

  A very helpful inspector talked through my questions and mentioned some new IVA test standard changes coming in May. Not a revolution but "changes I should investigate".

  Does anyone have insight on this?

There's a draft version of a new inspection manual from 3 April 2018. It includes a table of changes. (But doesn't seem to be mentioned on the update page of the the IVA site.)

Have you asked the factory?

I think there's an association of self-build companies, but I can never remember the name.

We recently discussed the possible changes to the rules around dates for emission testing, but this seems too soon after the start of the consultation period.

PS: MOT rule changes: 20 May 2018.

Thanks Jonathan

   No, not asked the factory yet. The chap at VOSA knew of changes but I don't think he had sight of them yet. Unless something emerges here I think I will wait till nearer by build date of July to allow communications to have been completed.

Just had an email reply from DVSA regarding test changes;

"There are no imminent changes that will affect you on 02nd May, any changes are expected to be later in the year."

My enquiry was regarding a pre '75 Flow installation.  2 weeks to go and still soooo much to do.
