Yes but questions may be asked if it’s done frequently

Once you have the settings right you can not go wrong 
Open as many times as you reasonably need to but always write explanation on back
I can say, in all the years I drove on analog, I have never once been questioned why I had opened it up on a random stop or when cards had gone for a check with the ministry.
id say anyone running from n.i or the south has had that question asked 10000 times…fortunately knowing and proving are always two different things?

Technically it’s illegal to remove a chart or driver card before the end of the shift without authorisation, the regulations don’t stipulate who can authorise it but it’s probably fair to say the driver can’t unless it’s absolutely necessary such as when changing vehicles or changing chart/card positions when multi-manning.
Having said that I’ve taken charts out to check my driving time more times than I can remember and never been questioned about it, I’ve never heard of anyone being questioned or fined for it and don’t expect to any-time soon.
It goes without saying that if the chart is withdrawn to check the hours it should be put back in the tachograph as soon as possible and the vehicle should not be moved while the chart is out.
I’ve never written an explanation of why I removed a chart and never heard of anyone being questioned about it, I would however not make a habit of removing the chart several times every day if only because it looks like you’re not capable of keeping a track of your hours.
edit: In case any new drivers read this thread and wonder how any-one would know if the chart is removed, it may be worth mentioning that the chart is marked with lines every time the chart is withdrawn and put back in.
Had a customer come in last week with an analogue fault .the clock was flashing due to summer time change …So had to remove his chart so it can synchronise .He thought he had to fill out a new chart …Told him just to write n the back ,what had happened and he also had his defect book to back him up

That just shows total lack of understanding how your equipment works.

Clocks went back so putting the same chart back in would overwrite existing traces. New chart would have been the better option in this case.
