The 2024 Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria, which take effect on April 1, are now available for purchase through the CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria app.
The out-of-service criteria app may be accessed anywhere, anytime via a mobile device. In addition to the out-of-service criteria, the app also contains inspection bulletins, photos of violations, inspection procedures, operational policies, access to the CVSA Learning portal and more.
To purchase the new out-of-service criteria, search “CVSA” in the App Store or Google Play then select “CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria.” Once you’ve downloaded the app, set up your account with your first and last name and email address, then purchase the 2024 criteria. If you already have the app, search and select “CVSA Out-of-Service Criteria” in the App Store or Google Play to update your app and purchase the 2024 criteria.
In addition, for the first time, bulk orders of the app are available for jurisdictions and motor carriers. Contact CVSA to place a bulk order.
The app is just one of several ways you may access the criteria. The out-of-service criteria are also available as a spiral-bound handbook, in an electronic format as a restricted PDF, and as an 8.5” x 11” document in French, Spanish, and bilingual English-French and English-Spanish.
CVSA is a nonprofit association comprised of local, state, provincial, territorial and federal commercial motor vehicle safety officials and industry representatives in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. CVSA created the North American Standard Inspection Program, which is the process for inspecting commercial motor vehicles and drivers throughout North America, and the North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria, which is the criteria used by certified inspectors to identify critical inspection items and unsafe conditions that place vehicles and/or drivers out of service through a uniform roadside inspection and enforcement process.
