DVSA earned recognition is a new way for organisations with lorries, buses and coaches to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards.

At the end of every reporting period the DVSA will be sent your earned recognition report if you have caused any triggers. If you have not breached any triggers the DVSA will receive a blank email. This is confirmation that your organisation has not triggered in the current reporting period. Learn more about the scheme HERE.

The report will only be sent to the DVSA if you have joined the scheme.​

Example of the Earned Recognition (ER) report generated within TruAnalysis.

The report that is does not identify any drivers names or vehicle registrations.

Under TruAnalysis you will see the Earned Recognition page.

The ER page is for the operator to have full breakdown capability on the trigger points.

Along the top of the dashboard, you will see each reporting period. Hover over the column name to view the date covered.

Each row is what the report is recording.

Triggers

Triggers will be either yellow, amber or red depending on how much the trigger has gone over.

The report will only trigger and be sent to the DVSA if you have caused a trigger point in D1 - D6. The DVSA will look at D7-D9 if you have caused a trigger in D1 - D6.

If you triggered you will see a red line appear at the end of the period you triggered on. Click the red information button to download the report the system sent to the DVSA at that point in time.
