Led to believe not happening this year.I would like to know where you are getting your info from?
I am led to believe that this is a done deal and the weights stated by Peter are correct.
The legislation states that the vehicle presented for test has to be a minimum weight which is 10t for a rigid I think. Using ibc’s is the cheapest solution for everbody to comply with the legislation.
If you can find a link to that legislation then I will believe you
For now I will believe the DSA proposal that has been there for nearly ten years
Rog
I do not really know what you are going on about. The legislation is set out in one of the directives and probably has to be implemented by the end of September.
Unfortunately burnie1 the information(legislation) you are quoting has had a number of changes to make it workable, and as far as i know still isn’t set in stone - sorry but “it is set out in one of the directives and probably has to be implemented by the end of september” doesn’t really give a definative answer as to what is " actually " going to happen.

As far as I am led to believe this has to happen this September but you have stated that someone has told it will not. Who is your source and are they a reliable one? Things can change and if they are then I would like to know as I am about to place a order for 180 ibc’s!
It would appear that you have misread my post - I have never stated that" someone told me it will not happen" - I gave my opinion as to what may actually happen, very sorry if that confused you 
. For someone who sits in on the focus group you seem to use the words “may”, “probably”, and “as far as i an led to believe” in your argument- please point me in the direction of the current set legislation and I will be more than happy to buy the necessary ibcs, otherwise I will wait for the DSA themselves to tell me it is going to happen and when.

from DSA this morning.
Quote
"DSA is introducing a real total mass (RTM) requirement for vehicles used for tests and proposes to consult on automatic transmission.
Real total mass (RTM)
The real total mass requirement for vocational vehicles used for tests will be introduced from Monday 30 September 2013.
It will affect vehicles in categories:
C,C+E
trailers of categories B+E, C1+E
trailers of categories D+E, D1+E
Initially it will only apply to vehicles registered after 19 January 2007. If you have vehciles registered before this date, you can continue to use them for tests, unladen, until 19 January 2017.
We’ll update you with more information, shortly.‘’

It’s been a long time coming. At least the candidate can be tested as being safe with a loaded trailer. It will also be less of a shock to the system for going into the ‘real world’
Chevmac - did that DSA release also mention the 800 kgs unladen weight for the trailer used for B+E ?

no Rog, the above quote is word for word from an email that has gone out to training providers, still not finalised the weights etc

I wonder when they will decide on that ? … 2020 ?
It does mention b+e in the quote but does not give a specific weight yet

Cannot see that being too much of an issue - simply make the sides thicker/heavier
