The Deputy may be aware that the periodic roadworthiness testing requirements for Member States are determined by EU legislation under Directive 2014/45/EU. The items to be tested as part of the National Car Test (NCT) are those listed in point 2 of Annex I to that Directive and are set out in Irish law by the Road Traffic (National Car Test) Regulations, 2017 (S.I. No. 415 of 2017), as amended. The Regulations also give effect to the Directive in respect of testing methods and pass/fail critera.

Any successive amendments to the Directive will be transposed into Irish law by my Department accordingly.
