Right over the last few days I've being trying to get my head around the 294 pages of excitement which is the IVA!
I've been trying to make notes to help me refer back to stuff when I inevitably fail first time round - Thought I should post up stuff for the benefit of others
I'll edit as I work out more, though I'm still not 100% up on the process
01 Noise
Must have silencer and be less than 99dba
Exit? Point away from Peds? *must not project more than 150mm and have a radius-ed edge
02 Emissions
Usual exhaust stuff – healthy mixture and no smoke
03 Fuel Tanks
Must not be in passenger compartment or engine compartment away from heat source
Must have earth strap
Drain to ground NOT pas compartment
Vent
Lock
Filler not in Passenger or engine compartment
04 Rear Registration Plate Space
Standard plate sized mounted sensibly on a vertical bracket, I assume standard sizes
05 Steering Effort
Can’t change much of that?
07 Audible Warning (horn)
Standard horn should be fine
08 Indirect Vision (mirrors)
Best fit all 3.
Must be secure and adjustable
Must meet dimension standards (see IVA)
09 Brake Systems
Must have brake system by pedal and by handbrake
The brake system must be a split system *F->R is OK,
Reservoir needs a label so it can be identified
Warning lamp with test facility for low level which must illuminate
10 Electromagnetic Compatibility
12 Interior Fittings
2.5mm radius on everything
Use un-protruding ie rocker not toggle switches
Try to fit stuff behind the excluded zone behind the steering wheel
13A Anti – Theft / Immobiliser
Mechanical anti theft devices (ie steering lock) or electronic immobiliser
NOT removable steering wheel or battery master switch
