- Abstract
-
The number of vehicles registered in Germany has never been higher and has grown steadily in the past. Therefore, the state has established a system of legal regulations and further safety measures to ensure road safety. In this system, experts for motor vehicles and road traffic play an indispensable and safety-decisive role, for example by carrying out technical vehicle inspections and drivers license tests. They also analyse and reconstruct road accidents and, last but not least, assess and evaluate vehicles and vehicle damage. The standard sets out the competences which experts should have after completion of their (competence) training. The standard is addressed to experts in the field of motor vehicles and road transport, unless there are legal provisions for individual fields of activity of the experts. As far as legal regulations exist, the standard can serve as a basis for the further development of the requirement profiles of the experts as well as their training and further education.
