Although the guidance advises that a ‘calibrated roller brake tester' (RBT) is used on each safety inspection, the DVSA also accept the use of an approved and calibrated decelerometer to carry out the three additional tests to the annual MOT roller brake test. As the consequences of non-compliance with the required standards can be very severe and include prohibition, fines or prosecution, operators are advised to ensure that they are familiar with all the changes within the DVSA guidance. Decelerometers have moved on significantly from the old mechanical brake testers such as Tapley Brake Meters.

All tests are time and date stamped. n addition to BrakeCheck Standard we can also offer BrakeCheck Plus Or BrakeCheck For Trailers, both these testers have a 99 test memory.
