Summary of Issue

Clarification on whether roadside inspections conducted on cargo tanks not containing hazardous materials/dangerous goods or reside count toward intial certification.

Justification or Need

Several jurisdictions over the past year have inquired on whether roadside inspections conducted on cargo tanks not containing hazardous materials/dangerous goods or reside last contained count toward intial certification.

Request for Action

Add additional language to Operation Policy 4 to clearly identify what is considered to be a certification cargo tank inspection. (i.e."...on vehicles containing bulk (if certified) and/or non-bulk quantities of hazardous materials/dangerous goods.) In addition, add an Example #17 to the matrix on what is not considered a North American Standard Cargo Tank certification inspection.
