What should I consider when assessing a vehicle for repair?

•  Assess whether the vehicle has active ADAS sensors fitted, which systems they are enabling, and clearly identify the locations of the sensors

•  Assess the capability of the repairing organisation to manage the process

What should I do before I start a repair?

•  Before starting any repair, servicing or maintenance procedure that might affect ADAS sensors, assess your capability to manage the process

•  Assess whether the vehicle has active ADAS sensors fitted, which systems they are enabling, and clearly identify the locations of the sensors; make use of:

•  Direct questioning of the Asset Owner / Work Provider.

•  Researching the vehicle model fitment information.

•  Use of 3rd party VIN or registration look up tools for fitment data.

•  Inspecting the vehicle – for more guidance see under Repair Planning.

 Use Diagnostic Tools to check vehicle data to verify what ADAS sensors are fitted.

•  If no ADAS sensors are fitted to the vehicle, the vehicle can proceed through the normal repair, servicing or maintenance procedures; record for audit purposes that no ADAS sensors are fitted and no inspection, realignment and calibration is required.

•  Where ADAS sensors have been identified, confirm what sensors are likely to be affected relevant to the repair, servicing or maintenance tasks being carried out and record for audit purposes.

•  For each ADAS sensor identified as likely to be affected, confirm and document your capability to carry out the inspection, realignment and calibration of the sensor. Record details of;

•  The currently competent person and their proof of current competency.

  The relevant equipment that will produce auditable and verifiable evidence of a successful calibration.

  Any 3rd party to which you intend to outsource the inspection, realignment and calibration of the sensor, including evidence that they meet the criteria of the IIR.
