PTI periods remain valid in the Netherlands
She has informed the Lower House of Parliament of her decision by letter. Countries are entitled to deviate from this regulation, if their PTI services are not disrupted by corona or if they have taken other measures.
Safety
To safeguard road safety, the PTI obligation remains applicable in the Netherlands. The PTI inspections at accredited garage businesses as well as the random tests by the RDW will continue. Garage businesses follow a collective protocol on the basis of the RIVM guidelines and have taken various measures to conduct inspections safely, including collecting and returning vehicles.
Reasonableness
Key workers or people stranded abroad due to corona for whom it is impossible to have the PTI conducted, can contact the RDW. We will try to find an adequate solution in mutual consultation.
