Legislation to provide for the roadworthiness testing of motor caravans in accordance with mandated EU standards is in preparation in my Department and will be finalised in the near future.

This legislation will be in line with National Car Test requirements but, due to the broad spectrum of types and sizes of this vehicle, type testing will be carried out at Commercial Vehicle Test Centres, i.e. Vehicle Testing Network (VTN) Test Centres.
