What is the DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme?
The DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme is a voluntary programme that proves that vehicle operators and transport firms have met the DVSA’s driver and vehicle standards. It works by transport operators using a DVSA-validated IT system to monitor their compliance. This system reports on key performance indicators such as drivers’ hours, law infringements, working time, and unaccounted mileage every four weeks. This data is then analysed and stored by the DVSA to ensure ongoing compliance. If an operator fails to hit their KPIs, the DVSA will notify them and work with them to solve any problems that may have arisen.

What is a DVSA Earned Recognition Auditor?
A DVSA Earned Recognition Auditor is a transport compliance firm that has been specially authorized to perform transport audits for the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency under their Earned Recognition Scheme. Within the transport compliance world, this is something of a badge of honour, one that is only currently held by around 40 transport auditing firms. Earned Recognition Scheme Auditors such as 2BCompliant must undergo rigorous training and meet exacting DVSA standards before they can carry out transport audits on behalf of the DVSA, including:
- Complete auditor training that covers quality management principles, business process auditing, and risk management
- Having relevant experience in transport compliance or enforcement
- Having an ISO 9001:2015 in place. The ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized standard set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that outlines requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS), aiming to help organizations consistently deliver high-quality products and services by focusing on customer needs and continuous improvement through a structured process-based approach
Once a transport compliance firm has achieved DVSA Approved Auditor status it can:
- Perform audits to assess whether operators meet DVSA’s standards for driver and vehicle safety
- Ensure that operators have effective systems to manage their transport operations
