Tachograph inspection and calibration: what to prepare before visiting the service centre
A practical list of information and documents that can help speed up tachograph inspection or calibration.
Why book in advance
An advance booking helps the service centre prepare the right capacity and determine the required scope of work from the vehicle details. The procedure for digital and smart tachographs may vary depending on the device generation and vehicle.
What to prepare
- the vehicle and its registration number
- available technical details
- tachograph type, if known
- previous device documentation, if available
- description of the change or problem if this is not a routine inspection
How long the service takes
The duration depends on the tachograph type, the vehicle and its assessed condition. It is therefore more practical to arrange a specific appointment than to rely on one universal service time for all vehicles.
