spec plate for the Iva
axle - 23/8/13 at 07:36 AM

Hi all
I am about to make the spec plate for the Iva, according to the manual the maximum laden masses are not required to be displayed. If this the case please tell if the format below is ok?

LOCOST S7
AXLE (Model)
No approval No. /build stage No ( is this ok?)
MY CHASIAS NO,

Kind regards Axle

IVA states the following order and was amended in year or so ago to state:

..is displayed in the correct order...

Name of manufacturer : VOSA MOTOR INC -
Approval No. and/or Build Stage No. : e1*2007/46*0291*02
Vehicle Identification Number : 3GPG918009BS51312
Maximum permitted laden mass of vehicle : 1500 kg
Maximum permitted laden mass for the combination where the vehicle is used for towing : 2500 kg
Maximum permitted laden road mass for each axle, listed in order from front to rear : 1 – 730 kg 2 – 810 kg


So yours will simply need to read:

Manufacturer - LOCOST S7 (YOu could add Axle in here if you like, but on the same line as the Manufacturer)
Chassis No - *****************


As you state, approval no is not relevant, so you dont have to show anything.
Mass/weights are also optional

To clarify, the only required information on the plate is:

- Manufacturer
- Chassis Number

So for example:

LOCOST
XXYY33222XXYYYYX

Agree as above, just manufacturer one line and chassis number below.

Sorry for being slow, but does it really matter the only difference I see is the engine serial No being added which is not asked for in Iva manual?

cheers

It could well be the reason it passed, or that the inspector didnt know of the newer wording.
I would personally keep it EXACTLY as shown on the manual example, as every inspector is different and as i mentioned, I wouldnt want to pay for a £90 for a retest for the sake of a very easy task.

again, the only information that the IVA manual says is mandatory is the manufacturer name and the VIN number so:

SYLVA
S12345ABCDEF12345

Something like that.

Will an engraved piece of aluminium be acceptable?
