The Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) today played host to leading international experts in vehicle testing and quality standards.
Members of the international testing organisation, Comite International de L'Inspection Technique Automobile (CITA), of which DVA is a member, gathered in Ballymena testing centre to share best practice and learn about the Agency's specific model for delivering a comprehensive range of vehicle tests.
CITA is an international association of public and private sector organisations which are involved in the delivery of statutory roadworthiness inspections or with responsibility for authorising and supervising inspection organisations.
DVA Chief Executive Brendan Magee said: "The Driver and Vehicle Agency is delighted to host this meeting and welcomes our distinguished international counterparts in the field of vehicle testing.
"DVA prides itself with delivering a quality service and as such enjoys the opportunity to share best practice of our unique and highly regarded model for delivering a comprehensive range of vehicle tests and to further pursue new and evolving principles in this field."
Mr Magee also noted earlier this year DVA retained its accreditation to ISO9001:2000 which is an internationally accepted Quality Management Systems standard.
He said: "DVA is the only driver and vehicle testing organisation in the UK and one of only a few in the EU to hold ISO 9001:2000. This award recognises and underpins the importance of providing quality public services."
