Avoid on the spot fines with Soltec

Non-compliant bodyshops are facing on the spot fines for €1,000, under new powers given to local authorities , the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has warned.

All such operators are advised to ensure that they are in compliance with the requirements of the Decorative Paints Regulations (S.I. No. 564 of 2012).

In particular all bodyshops must apply for and obtain a Certificate of Compliance from their local authority. Bodyshops are reminded that they should allow plenty of time for renewal of their Certificate of Compliance.

Soltec (Ireland) Ltd offers a comprehensive pre-audit preparation service and necessary equipment, including supply safety spill kits, two barrel bunds and a full range of gun wash cleaners.

It says it uses its extensive experience in waste management to look at bodyshops and highlight areas that inspectors may have concerns.
