Unternehmenskarte: Ausstellung

For certain motor vehicles placed on the market for the first time on or after 01.05.2006, the use of digital recording equipment is mandatory. This applies to vehicles used for the carriage of goods with a maximum permissible weight, including trailers or semi-trailers, exceeding 3.5 tonnes, as well as vehicles used for the carriage of passengers which, by virtue of their construction and equipment, are suitable and intended for carrying more than nine persons, including the driver. The digital recording device records driving times and rest periods, makes manipulation more difficult to the detriment of general road safety and facilitates checks.

The entrepreneur is responsible for:

• Entering the company card into the digital control device at the beginning and at the end of the vehicle deployment for the company
• the correct use of the digital recording equipment
• ensuring the proper functioning of the digital recording equipment
• easy printing from the digital recording equipment in the event of an inspection
• the correct use of the driver card by the driver
• copying, backing up and archiving (2 years) of the data from the digital recording equipment after 90 days at the latest and the driver card after 28 days at the latest in accordance with § 2 para. 5 of the Ordinance on the Implementation of the Driving Personnel Act (FPersV)
• the deletion of the archived data after expiry of the 2-year period in accordance with the Data Protection Act
