We have updated some details of the scheme and posted raised some bulletins which you can access from the following links:

Re-introduction of a Yellow pass for tankers that do not carry petrol. PDF
We've reintroduced the yellow pass - the inspection requirements are identical as those for a red pass but the ADR leakproofness test certificate will be recognised for three years, not two.

Access to fire extinguishers - in-cab and external. PDF
We've clarified the accessibility and ease of removal requirements for fire extinguishers from their holders / boxes.

Black oil (fuel oil) trailers. PDF
For those few locations loading black oil, we've stipulated that tankers equipped for bottom loading and vapour recovery are not suitable for loading black oil.

Ignition / permanently powered running lights. PDF
We've completed the introduction of the requirement for these lighting systems to be fitted with an emergency means of isolation on ALL new trucks with effect from April 2010.
