NRMCA recognizes that the delivery vehicles are
an integral part of the production process and cannot issue certification
for production facilities without certified vehicles. The Check List
includes provisions for inspection and certification of truck mixers,
agitators and non-agitating units. The delivery fleet inspection requires
that not more than one unit or 10 percent of the units, whichever is
greater; to be used at the plant fails to meet requirements.
Two options are provided:
Option A – Delivery vehicles inspection by the company under the
supervision of a company official. An NRMCA approved inspector audits
paperwork and procedures used by the company.
Option B – Delivery vehicles inspected by an NRMCA approved inspector
The following points are to be noted for Option A: (More details can be found in Section 5 of the Check List.)
Identify maintenance personnel who will be conducting the vehicle
inspection for the required items in the Check list.
Ensure that they are familiar with the requirements of the vehicle
inspection. A company manager should periodically supervise the
inspection.
Maintain on file a statement of qualifications of these personnel and
have these available for the inspecting engineer when the plant is
inspected.
Make
a request for a Delivery Fleet certification card using the Fleet
Inspection Reporting Spreadsheet (The person inspecting the vehicle and
the company official should complete this request).
NRMCA
will issue a card with a unique vehicle ID and an expiration date. The
card shall be applied to the driver side windshield or door of the
delivery unit (some companies do not permit items on the vehicle’s
windshield).
Maintain a record of inspection and certification on file (Section 5.7)
for review by the inspecting engineer.
When
the engineer inspects the plants, he or she will interview the
maintenance personnel who performed the vehicle inspection and audit
their inspection, as well as your records of certification.
The following is applicable to the company personnel involved in
inspecting delivery vehicles
