The DVSA has updated the forms to use when applying for individual vehicle approval (IVA) along with the inspection manuals.
Applications from 1 August must be made on the new forms (available for use from now), although the new manuals do not apply until 1 September.
The changes are to make sure that vehicles comply with new environmental and safety standards, including emissions, fuel tanks, indirection vision, advanced EBS, lane departure warnings and electrical safety.
