I have only ever tested with an assistant doing where I MOT and have never every watched a ATL / OPTL any where in nearly 30 of being a tester. Some one local needs a QC done and keeps asking me. He said he will do a test in manual mode if I QC him.should he be tested by some one from a ATL station or can I do it if he does a test in manual mode which I take it should be done as I would done one where I have always worked.

What Qc check would you do ? If his equipment was faulty ?

Whhere are you located 2002

What is equally important for effective QC tests as the routine & use of equipment is a re-check on any failure/advisory items, which should be checked & agreed BEFORE the test result is entered on MTS.

This kind of QC carries more weight with DVSA than just observing the test & ticking the boxes.

Make a note on the QC record of items checked, agreed or disagreed, & any references to the Manual.

For observed tests, make notes & observations on items such as correct alignment of headlamp equipment, understanding of +/- 850 cut-off limits, diesel plate values & oil temperature, engine purge etc, use of tyre tread depth (and width ) gauge.

Attach a copy of the VT20/30 to your QC record.

If you PM me an email address I'd be happy to send you some sample documentation.

If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !
