Trailer approval

hi5

I have noticed a lot of what appear to be cheap trailers apperaing for sale in the small adds lately,http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/3977539

I can only presume its because of this http://www.rsa.ie/Documents/Vehicle%20Std%20Leg/Information%20Notes/Light%20Trailer%20Stakeholder%20Note.pdf

My question is this, will all trailers currently used in a public place have to have approval, or do the new rules just apply to newly manufactured trailers.
Could my home made unapproved trailer be confiscated for not having a stamp?

Also, I belive I can have an 'individual vehicle approval' test done to get it stamped, does anyone know what this will cost?

I think the restriction is on selling trailers

1. No.
2. Only newly manufactured trailers being sold after the dates mentioned in the document.
3. No. See 2 above
4. Only if you are a manufacturer/trailer retailer will you need this test done.

Maybe in the future ALL trailers will need this test which will be a good idea.

^^^ Agreed... I have always been of the opinion that trailers should be subject to testing of some sort. Far too many malojans of yokes going around built out of bits and bobs. A well built home or independently built trailer should fly any tests too.

But no, you don't need a stamp for it now.
