Inspection of depollution centres for end-of-life vehicles
Prevention of waste from vehicles, reuse, recycling and other forms of useful applications of end-of-life vehicles and components are governed by law. Our experts carry out inspections within this regulatory framework so that your company is and remains recognized as a centre for depollution, the dismantling and destruction of end-of-life vehicles.
If your centre is not yet recognized, Vinçotte will first carry out an initial inspection. During this inspection, all the checks that we perform, will be discussed with you and you will be informed as to the work that remains in order to acquire a recognition as a depollution centre. If your centre is already recognized, a follow-up inspection shall be carried out each year. During the inspection, and in the report, we clearly state the areas in which your company needs to improve in order to retain the recognition.
Our inspection reports are submitted to the regional authorities. Based on the decisions in these reports, the OVAM (Public Waste Agency of Flanders), the OWD (Walloon Waste Office) or the BIM (Brussels Institute for the Management of the Environment) respectively, take a decision as to whether your company can be recognized or your recognition can be extended.
We ensure that you satisfy the mandatory initial inspection and the annual follow-up inspections. In these reports, we provide a comprehensive and clear description of the areas in which your centre must improve in order to retain recognition as a depollution centre. For the inspections in Flanders, we jointly discuss with you the criteria that have to be satisfied before you can qualify for a two-yearly instead of an annual inspection.
