Three audit modes. One compliance platform.

The DVSA ER Audit System is our web-based compliance audit platform, built for independent auditors, transport managers and consultancies who want to run professional compliance audits to the DVSA Earned Recognition standard — without the spreadsheets. It maps all 10 Earned Recognition sections, pulls live vehicle data from DVLA and DVSA, and produces branded, QR-verified PDF reports your clients can share with confidence.

Right-size every audit to the job

Deep Audit — full DVSA ER standard, 300+ criteria

The complete Earned Recognition audit: all 10 sections, every qualifying question, every subsection. Produces the full formal PDF report with fleet overview, operator profile, action plan and supervisor sign-off. Ideal for formal audits, Public Inquiry preparation, ER scheme applications and annual operator audits.

Snap Audit — compliance basics, 20–30 minutes

A focused subset of questions covering the critical, compliance-basic items that matter most at a Traffic Commissioner appearance or during a spot-check. Full scoring, full report, a fraction of the time — perfect for quick health-checks, pre-audit rehearsals and new-operator onboarding.

Focused Section Audit — one section, in full depth

Pick any single DVSA section — Vehicle Standards, Driver Standards, Transport Manager, whatever the concern — and audit just that area thoroughly. Ideal for remediation after a warning letter, follow-ups on previous non-compliance and TM handovers.

Built for everyone in the compliance chain

• Independent auditors — white-label the platform with your own branding; unlimited audits and client operators, with extra seats at £2/month each.
• Transport managers — stay audit-ready year-round with monthly Snap audits, Focused audits after a near-miss and Deep audits annually.
• Compliance consultancies — manage multiple operator clients from one dashboard with per-seat pricing that scales with your team.

If you'd rather we ran the audit for you, our consultants also deliver hands-on detailed DVSA-styled audits.

All 10 Earned Recognition sections, fully mapped

Every question, criterion and subsection from the official DVSA ER standard — structured for both HGV and PSV operators:

1. Operator Licences — conditions, operating centres, financial standing, repute and undertakings
2. Transport Manager — professional competence, continuous and effective management, good repute
3. Vehicle Standards — maintenance systems, PMI schedules, MOT, brake testing, tachograph calibration, defect reporting
4. Driver Standards — drivers' hours, WTD, tachograph management, infringement tracking
5. Operation Management — loading & load security, route planning, environmental policy, incident procedures
6. Security Requirements — vehicle, load, driver and depot security
7. Driver Management — recruitment, licence checking, medical fitness, performance monitoring
8. Training — Driver CPC, induction, toolbox talks and specialist training
9. Additional Policies — drug & alcohol, mobile phone, bridge strikes, complaints and insurance
10. Services & Dangerous Goods — PSV service provision and accessibility; HGV ADR procedures and documentation

Enterprise tools in every audit

• OCRS email ingestion — forward your DVSA OCRS report and the platform auto-parses the roadworthiness and traffic scores.
• QR-verified public reports — every signed-off audit carries a tamper-evident QR code linking to a branded verify page.
• Supervisor sign-off & publishing — a two-step workflow where an admin reviews and signs off before an audit publishes.
• DVLA vehicle lookup & DVSA MOT history — enter a VRM to pull live make, model, fuel, plated weight, tax and full annual-test history.
• Companies House auto-fill — auto-populate address, directors and SIC codes at signup; sole traders supported.
• Intelligent qualifying engine — the audit tailors itself to vehicle type, licence type, ADR status and tacho exemption.
• RAG scoring — four-band Compliant / Advisory / Improvement Needed / Non-Compliant scoring per section and overall.

One scan. Proof of integrity.

Every signed-off audit gets a public verify URL and a QR code on the cover page. Scanning it opens a branded verification page showing the live compliance fingerprint — captured as a SHA-256 hash at supervisor sign-off — with a warning banner if the audit has been edited after publication. Operators can prove report integrity to the Traffic Commissioner, insurers or clients in a single scan.
