With whole vehicle type approval now mandatory it's business as usual at Central Crane Technicians as they issue their first NSSTA Certificate of Conformity (CoC). The first chassis to be issued a CoC is a Volvo 3 axle rigid with FASSI F455A.2.25 & flat body, part of a multiple order for Pickerings Plant, meaning no trips to the nearest IVA test station.
Central Crane Technicians have been working closely with FASSI UK and MIRA's homologation engineers to obtain as many National Small Series Type Approvals (NSSTA's) as possible to maintain business as usual from October 29th. This means that we are able to build vehicles to the specification contained within the VCA approval number and to issue a certificate of conformity (CoC) which allows the completed vehicle to be registered. This in turn means that the completed vehicle does not need to be taken to a VOSA test station for an Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA). The approval covers the full range of front & rear mount FASSI cranes as well as flat, dropside & plant bodies.
