(1)For all items to be inspected, there shall be assigned the possible deficiencies and the corresponding level of severity found in the list provided in Annex II of Directive 2014/47/EU.

(2) Deficiencies that are found during technical roadside inspections of vehicles shall be categorized in one of the following groups:

(a) minor deficiencies having no significant effect on the safety of the vehicle or impact on the environment, and other minor non-compliances;

(b) major deficiencies that may prejudice the safety of the vehicle or have an impact on the environment or put other road users at risk, or other more significant non-compliances;

(c) dangerous deficiencies constituting a direct and immediate risk to road safety or having an impact on the environment.

(3) A vehicle having deficiencies falling into more than one of the deficiency groups referred to in sub-regulation (2) shall be classified in the group corresponding to the more serious deficiency. A vehicle showing several deficiencies within the same inspection area as defined in the scope of the technical roadside inspection referred to in point 1 of Annex II of Directive 2014/47/ EU, shall be classified in the next most serious deficiency group if the inspecting officer deems that the combined effect of those deficiencies results in a higher risk to road safety.
