If your workshop carries out repairs to vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) then IIR affects you.
From 31 March 2021 it is essential that you comply with the IIR standards when carrying out repairs to vehicles with ADAS features.
IIR refers to the new Insurance Industry Requirements for the safe repair of ADAS equipped vehicles.
WHAT DOES IIR MEAN FOR WORKSHOPS AND ACCIDENT REPAIRERS?
The IIR sets out new procedures that workshops and accident repairers must follow at every stage of the repair process, including:
- triage, assessment and preparation
- the process for managing repairs
- repair planning
- ADAS calibration.
To comply with IIR, workshops must ensure that they have both the capabilities and equipment to calibrate all of the ADAS cameras and sensors fitted to an ADAS equipped vehicle or use sub-contractors capable of undertaking the calibration service in accordance with the criteria of the IIR.
