KIR Test (Periodic Roadworthiness Test)
The KIR test, or periodic test, is the mandatory roadworthiness inspection for goods vehicles, held every 6 months under PP No. 55 of 2012. Results go into a test book or card listing the vehicle's dimensions, curb weight, JBB, JBI and axle configuration. For load planners, the KIR record is the official source that should replace any catalogue default. A vehicle whose body differs from its KIR data risks being treated as ODOL at inspection.
