Detailed description
The workshop card is a tachograph card for
- approved manufacturers of tachographs,
- vehicle manufacturers,
- workshops as well as
- their responsible specialists such as installers or technicians.
The workshop card is used by your responsible specialists to install, test, calibrate and download data from digital tachographs.
If your workshop card has been stolen, you can apply for a replacement card from the responsible office as an entrepreneur or as a person authorized to represent the company or as an authorized representative. To do this, you must present a current certificate of recognition or commissioning of the workshop for testing tachographs. This must not be older than 3 years.
Your replacement workshop card remains valid until the same date as the stolen original card - if it would have been valid for more than 6 months. The validity period therefore does not start all over again. If the remaining term of the card is less than 6 months, you will be issued a new card. This is then valid again for one year.
Whenever you apply for a workshop card to be replaced due to theft, you as the company must provide proof that the instructed specialist is still employed by you and has been trained in accordance with the tachograph card and recording equipment training guidelines. The training certificate must not be older than 3 years.
The workshop card is PIN-protected. The personal PIN number is sent to the employee's home address. Employees may only have one workshop card per employment relationship and may only use it there. The workshop card is the property of the company.
