2014/47/EU - Directive 2014/47/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Union and repealing Directive 2000/30/EC Text with EEA relevance
Directive 2014/47/EU establishes minimum requirements for the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating within the European Union. It applies to commercial vehicles exceeding certain weight and speed thresholds, such as buses, trucks, trailers, and wheeled tractors used mainly on public roads. The directive aims to enhance road safety and environmental protection by ensuring consistent roadside inspections across Member States, complementing periodic vehicle testing. It introduces a risk-based approach for selecting vehicles for inspection, prioritizing those operated by undertakings with poor road safety and environmental records, while rewarding compliant operators with less frequent checks. The directive mandates training for inspectors, procedures for electronic reporting, and cooperation between Member States, including sharing inspection data and coordinating enforcement. Detailed inspections can be performed roadside or at designated facilities, with penalties applied for violations. The directive also promotes securing cargo effectively and encourages coordination of inspections with social and transport legislation compliance checks. Reports on inspections must be submitted biennially to the Commission to monitor implementation and effectiveness.
Purpose
Directive 2014/47/EU aims to improve road safety and environmental protection by establishing minimum requirements for a regime of technical roadside inspections of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating within the European Union. The directive builds upon existing frameworks and replaces Directive 2000/30/EC, ensuring harmonized and effective checks on commercial vehicles to maintain a high level of safety and environmental standards throughout their operational lives.
Key obligations
Scope of Inspections: Member States must carry out technical roadside inspections on commercial vehicles including certain categories of motor vehicles designed for passenger or goods transport, trailers and semi-trailers exceeding specific weight limits, and wheeled tractors used primarily on public roads for commercial haulage.
Risk-Based Selection: Priority for inspections should be given to vehicles operated by undertakings with poor compliance with safety and environmental standards, while those run by responsible operators can be inspected less frequently.
Inspection Procedure: Inspections consist of initial roadside checks and, if necessary, more detailed examinations. They include assessment of relevant vehicle parts and systems and the securing of cargo, which must comply with European standards for coping with road dynamic forces.
Inspector Independence: Inspectors must operate independently without conflicts of interest. Their remuneration should not be linked to inspection outcomes to ensure impartiality.
Training Requirements: Inspectors conducting roadside inspections should be appropriately trained or qualified. Those carrying out detailed inspections should meet standards equivalent to roadworthiness testing personnel under Directive 2014/45/EU.
Reporting and Data Management: Inspection results must be documented and stored electronically in Member State databases to facilitate administration and data sharing. Only essential information must be reported for initial inspections, with detailed reports reserved for more thorough follow-ups.
Penalties: Member States are responsible for setting effective, proportionate, and dissuasive penalties for breaches of the directive, including failures to cooperate with inspectors or unauthorized vehicle use when dangerous deficiencies are present.
Cooperation: Member States should cooperate at the operational and administrative level, including organizing concerted inspections and exchanging best practices.
Risk Rating System: Roadworthiness inspection data should feed into transport undertakings’ risk classification systems to better target high-risk operators.
Affected products and actors

This European Standard is applicable to the design of securing methods (blocking, lashing, and combinations) for securing of loads for surface transport by road vehicles or parts of them (lorries, trailers, containers and swap bodies), including their transport on vessels or by rail and/or combinations thereof. Hump shunting with acceleration over 1 g during railway transport is excluded, as it is not foreseen in combined transport. (Web lashings see EN 12195-2, lashing chains see EN 12195-3, lashing steel wire ropes see EN 12195-4).
This European Standard does not apply for vehicles with a total weight equal to or lower than 3 500 kg.
NOTE Lighter vehicles can have driving characteristics, which give higher values of acceleration on the road.
For dimensioning of load securing a distinction is made between stable loads and loads liable to tilting.
Furthermore, the acceleration coefficients for surface transport are specified.
For over top lashing the force loss in the tension force of the lashing at the outer edges between load and lashing is taken into account. The securing forces to be chosen for calculation in this EN 12195-1 are static forces produced by blocking or tensioning of lashings and dynamic forces, which act on the lashing as a reaction of the load movements.
Examples for the application of calculations are given in Annex A.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 2014/47/EU covers "Directive 2014/47/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Union and repealing Directive 2000/30/EC Text with EEA relevance". There are 16 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 2014/47/EU are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2014/47/EU, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
