Inspection Criteria for Accreditation

Tuning and Maintenance Category

This category covers tuning, plus ordinary day-to-day maintenance. Also possession of, or ready access to, the skills and facilities necessary for the minor repairs and renewals that arise alongside such maintenance.

Important

There are two main sections required to be inspected to succeed in this category. The significance of the details within each is that, while examples of workmanship may have been witnessed over and above, in every case these items will have been inspected as a minimum requirement within this category.
