What Vehicles are Subject to a CVIP Inspection?
CVIP is mandatory for all commercial vehicles with a combined weight of 11,794 kilograms or greater when operating in Alberta or 4,500 kg and greater when operating extra-provincially.
These inspections guarantee that commercial vehicles meet provincial safety standards, reducing the risk of mechanical failures and improving road safety. At Bassett Petroleum Distributors Ltd, we recognize the importance of compliance with CVIP inspections in Edmonton and aim to support fleet operators in maintaining safe and roadworthy vehicles.
What Does a CVIP Inspection Cover?
A CVIP inspection thoroughly examines a commercial vehicle's mechanical and safety systems to confirm compliance with Alberta's regulations. The inspection covers:
-
Brake system: Check for wear, leaks, and proper functionality.
-
Steering and suspension: Evaluate alignment, component integrity, and performance.
-
Lighting and electrical systems: Ensure headlights, brake lights, and signals operate correctly.
-
Tires and wheels: Assess tread depth, inflation, and overall condition.
-
Exhaust and fuel systems: Check for leaks and emissions issues.
-
Frame and body: Inspect for structural integrity and corrosion.
After the inspection, the technician will note any malfunctioning parts and discuss the repairs with you. Our service center is equipped with all the necessary tools to provide comprehensive repair services and is fully certified to do all the required repair work.
A CVIP decal is issued if a vehicle passes and is valid for the specified inspection period. If defects are found, repairs must be completed before certification.
Compliance with CVIP inspections in Edmonton is essential for legal operation and road safety. Failure to obtain a valid inspection can result in penalties, vehicle downtime, and increased liability risks. Additionally, regular inspections help identify mechanical issues early, preventing costly breakdowns.
