How long does a green garage pass last for until I'm next inspected?

You have made my day I thought it was 2

I have kept all calibration certificates and I keep emissions for 3 months at a time then bin any.

If its a site assessment, & your green and it is 3 years until your next visit/assessment...
do the maths. Taking into consideration that you don't enter them into/onto comp anymore.
(On my site assessment 22/8/12 i noted keep calibration certs for 2 years. On my site assessment 7/9/15 i noted; with comp2 calibration is not entered onto system - just keep hard copy for 3 years).

From experience it's usually around 2 years 6 months to 2 years 9 months so be prepared.
	If I was to agree with you, that would make us both wrong !
