progress is placed on the market and put into service in the Czech Republic in accordance 
with Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on 
tachographs in roa d transport. The purpose of the draft which is the subject of this

(EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on tachographs in road 
transport  - digital tachographs in vehicles and methods for their verification within 
specified time limits.  
7. Objective and rationale , including the nature of urgent problems where applicable:  
In the Czech Republic, digital tachographs are legally controlled meas uring instruments 
subject to compulsory verification. This draft only concerns the verification of digital 
tachographs in use since type approval of these instruments in the Czech Republic is not 
relevant.  Some of the parameters referred to in this documen t are properties of measuring 
instruments in new condition and are only noted here because the preservation of these 
properties when in use is only subject to visual or other checks within the scope of 
verification.  G/TBT/N/CZE/202
