Dubai: A new resolution handed down on Sunday has streamlined oversight of vehicle testing centres in Dubai regarding licensing, creating new branches as well as training and qualifying inspectors.
The new rules were issued by Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council
According to Resolution No 38 of 2015, individuals or entities are strictly forbidden from providing inspection services in the emirate of Dubai without obtaining a licence from competent authorities in Dubai.
Licensed Vehicle Testing Centres should not establish any branches without obtaining written approval from the Licensing Agency at the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
New rules list the administrative, technical and financial terms and conditions for obtaining a licence as well as a list of violations and corresponding penalties, the services provided by the centres, licensing procedures and fees for the services.
The new resolution annuls any legislation that contradicts or challenges its rules and regulations.
Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) is responsible for implementing the resolution and will renew and amend licences, monitor, oversee and inspect the centres and penalise violators.
