Vehicle Tests

Motor vehicles and their trailers are subject to inspection and testing when one or more changes are made to the design or functions (mass, number of axles, size), to the equipment parts (visual signaling and lights, acoustic, exhaust, tires, brakes, tow hooks) and also when the frame has been replaced or modified.

The Highway Code states that vehicles are subject to "inspection and testing" (so-called test) for:

• determining the existence of the eligibility requirements needed for the circulation and registration (Art. 75, Highway Code);
• the approval of design or functional changes of the vehicles by updating the Registration Certificate (Art. 78 Highway Code).

Following the issuance of Ministerial Decree n. 277, 02/05/2001, the applications for testing of an unique model may be submitted by the manufacturer or its representative at any Vehicles Test Center.
