The extensions provided for under Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2021/267 in relation to driver CPC qualification cards and periodic training will be implemented from 6th March.
Previous extensions to test due dates for Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Tests (CVRT) were granted as a direct result of the suspension to the CVRT roadworthiness testing service from 25 March 2020 to 18 May 2020. As there has been no further suspension to the CVRT service, additional extensions to CVRT test due dates are not necessary and accordingly the provisions provided under Article 5 of the Regulation are not required.
As the CVRT centres are also open for tachograph calibrations and the digital tachograph card issuing unit are processing card applications as normal, extensions are not required under Article 4 of the Regulation concerning the regular inspections of tachographs, the renewal of driver cards, and the replacement of driver cards.
