DVSA EARNED RECOGNITION SCHEME
Prolius helps businesses to improve driver and vehicle standards to ensure that their fleets are fully DVSA compliant.
IMPROVING STANDARDS
The DVSA Earned Recognition scheme is a way for vehicle operators to prove their fleet operation meets driver and vehicle safety standards.
As a DVSA earned recognition operator, your fleet will benefit from increased credibility and trust within the industry, which positively impacts your operations. Achieving a DVSA earned recognition status is crucial for compliance and operational efficiency, leading to fewer roadside checks, an improved business reputation and direct support from DVSA experts.
Through the use of a DVSA-approved IT system, data is shared with the DVSA based on key performance indicators. These sets of KPIs ensure that compliance and safety requirements are met, reducing the chance of your vehicles being stopped for roadside inspections.

BOOK A DEMO
To join the DVSA Earned Recognition scheme, there are a few key requirements to meet. The following is a high-level overview of the steps involved:
The application process is straightforward. Fill out an application form and provide the necessary documents like your operator’s licence and evidence of your systems. You'll also need to agree to share important data with the DVSA, including KPIs, driver hours and maintenance reports.
With all your vehicle data in one centralised location, our DVSA-approved IT system allows you to easily monitor your vehicle and driver activity. The audit process is vital in ensuring compliance, as it involves clear communication, timely execution and comprehensive evaluation to meet all necessary standards.
If the DVSA feature is enabled, Prolius Fleet tracks specific KPIs and automatically reports them to the DVSA on a periodic basis. Our platform captures key metrics in a simple traffic-light system to make sure you are monitoring and maintaining DVSA level standards.
The DVSA Earned recognition scheme stipulates a set of key performance indicators which are used to measure an operator’s compliance for both maintenance and driving activities. Prolius Fleet has been designed to provide you with complete visibility over such KPIs - including:
To maintain earned recognition status, operators must continue to meet the eligibility criteria and adhere to the terms and conditions of the scheme. This includes:
Operators who fail to meet these requirements may have their earned recognition status removed.
Joining the DVSA Earned Recognition scheme is free, but there may be fees associated with auditors and IT systems providers. Auditors set their own fees, and operators must inform them if they choose to apply for extra modules. IT system suppliers also set their own fees.
The Earned Recognition accreditation is valid for two years. Operators must enter into a formal contract with their DVSA authorised audit provider and agree to share all relevant data and details with the DVSA. The DVSA may remove accreditation if operators fail to report their data, are continually non-compliant, or their business ceases trading.
The Prolius Fleet management system quickly measures compliance set by the DVSA, making it easier to achieve Earned Recognition status, meet targets and seamlessly share audit data with the DVSA. The DVSA Earned Recognition scheme is a voluntary scheme for operators to demonstrate compliance.
