Checklist questions
Are the checklists free?
Yes. Every checklist can be read in full on its page and downloaded as a PDF, with no sign-up and no email.
Can I edit them for my brand?
Yes. Download the PDF and adapt it, or build the checklist in AutoSmart, where you can change the checks, the scoring and when a photo is required, so it matches your own standard.
Can I run them in AutoSmart?
Yes. Any checklist can become an AutoSmart template: auditors complete it on a phone or tablet, even offline, attach photo evidence, and every failed check becomes an action with a person in charge and a due date, followed on a live dashboard.
Which markets do the compliance checklists cover?
The United Arab Emirates (ESMA), Saudi Arabia (SASO, PDPL, periodic inspection), the United States (EPA, CARB, NHTSA, FTC, OSHA, state dealer licensing) and the United Kingdom (DVSA, MOT, GB type approval, BS 10125).
