ATC Fees – Consultation and QuestionsApproved Tachograph Centres (ATC's) provide obligatory tachograph calibration services for in-scope heavy goods vehicles and buses on behalf of the Department. The DVA regulates the maximum fees which ATC's can charge for checks and calibrations. These fees have not been increased for around 17 years, and the cost of providing the service has increased significantly in that time; so much that calibrations are currently being conducted at a loss in some instances.
This consultation proposes changes to the fee structure to enable ATCs to receive a fair fee for the work they do. The DVA does not receive any portion of the fee collected; the DVA's work is funded separately via an annual licence fee.
The DVA welcomes your views on the proposed fee increases.
The consultation document and associated documents can also be made available in alternative formats on request. Please contact dva.tachographcentres@infrastructure-ni.gov.uk
