By decision of the Specialized Interdistrict Administrative Court of Konaev, an administrative fine in the amount of 1,533,480 tenge was imposed on LLP "PLANK." In addition, the court suspended the laboratory’s accreditation certificate for a period of six months.

The basis for administrative liability was the results of unscheduled inspections regarding vehicle testing conducted in violation of the requirements of the Customs Union Technical Regulation “On the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles” (TR CU 018/2011).

Specifically, violations in testing procedures were identified. In particular, the laboratory failed to conduct actual testing of emergency call systems and was proven to have used an inapplicable brake stand for testing a specific vehicle.

The laboratory is required to operate within the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and comply with the requirements of regulatory documents for which it has been accredited. Its activities must be strictly limited to the established scope of accreditation.

Based on the identified violations, the Department of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan initiated administrative proceedings and issued orders to eliminate the violations.

As of today, the laboratory has fully complied with the orders: the unlawfully issued vehicle safety certificates have been revoked, and technical training for staff on compliance with legislation has been conducted.
