I do not know how it is recored when the test is carried out for the Tachograph in the UK; However over here when the tacho has been newly recalibrated, we get a sticker which is affixed on the door jamb stamped and signed by testing station , we have never been pulled up by any one when they have checked the tachograph and seen this, also that the seals are still in place , I would try appealing against this if I was you .
Exactly. That is what the EU tachograph regulations say.
After the equipment has been checked on installation, an installation plaque
shall be affixed to the vehicle beside the equipment or in the equipment itself
and in such a way as to be clearly visible.
After every inspection by an
approved fitter or workshop requiring a change in the setting of the installation
iteself, a new plaque must be affixed in place of the previous one.
The plaque must show at least the following details:
– name, address or trade name of the approved fitter or workshop,
– characteristic coefficient of the vehicle, in the form ‘w = … rev/km’ or ‘w
= … imp/km’,
– effective circumference of the wheel tyres in the form ‘1 = … mm’,
– the dates on which the characteristic coefficient of the vehicle was
determined and the effective measured circumference of the wheel tyres.
It sounds like the Alpine Turks have had your driver over a barrel, or maybe in it
