Plating Certificate
A plating certificate is an official document issued by DVSA that records the maximum permitted weights for a heavy goods vehicle and its individual axles. Tyre load ratings must be sufficient to support the plated weights. Operating above plated weights is a serious offence that causes excessive tyre stress, accelerated wear, and increased risk of tyre failure.
