Information on trailers tested between 1 May and 30 June

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is aware that some trailers fitted with Knorr Bremse Electronic Braking Systems (EBS) may have been incorrectly tested for service efficiency during the roller brake test aspect of the annual test.

This is likely to have only affected a small number of trailers which had a brake test between 1 May and 30 June 2022. 

Operators can appeal the result if they feel any of their trailers failed the test incorrectly.
