DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme NEC 2018

Home / DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme NEC 2018

In 2018, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) officially launched the Earned Recognition Scheme at the Birmingham NEC

The launch event brought together hundreds of industry professionals, fleet operators, transport consultants, and compliance experts to witness the unveiling of one of the most forward-thinking compliance frameworks in road transport history.

As one of the earliest supporters and specialists in Earned Recognition consultancy, Invergold Associates was proud to participate in this landmark occasion, offering insight, guidance, and on-the-ground expertise to attendees looking to understand and adopt the scheme.

What is the DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme?

The DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme is a voluntary initiative designed to help vehicle operators prove they meet rigorous driver and vehicle standards. By submitting regular compliance data to DVSA through approved software, operators earn “exemplary” status, reducing the likelihood of roadside inspections and enabling a more trusting relationship with enforcement authorities.
