This manual establishes quality guidelines for driver testing organisations. Members of the Commission Internationale des Examens de Conduite Automobile (CIECA) will operate within CIECA’s and their own individual organisation’s defined Quality policy and according to governmental objectives. It is CIECA’s policy to consistently improve road safety by providing quality services in terms of the delivery of practical driving tests, which meet statutory and legal obligations whilst taking into consideration the needs of customers. To the end, this CIECA Document has been drawn up with the objective of promoting confidence in Driver Testing Organisations who carry out or oversee statutory driving tests. Driver Testing Organisations conduct driving tests on behalf of, or as, public authorities, according to prescribed laws, regulations, standards, directives or specifications, with the objective of certifying the conformity of adherence to the requirements of these provisions. This document will ensure the standards laid down within it will comply with the statutory requirements of each country and will aim to satisfy the requirements of international quality standards. A system of equivalence shall be established in order to recognise existing internationally-recognised quality standards within CIECA member organisations. (Author/publisher)
