What happens to the certificate of appointment if a fleet inspection station has fewer than 15 vehicles?

In Pennsylvania, a fleet inspection station must meet certain criteria to maintain its certificate of appointment. If a fleet inspection station has fewer than 15 vehicles, it does not meet the minimum requirement set forth by the state's regulations. Consequently, the certificate of appointment will be canceled. This means that the station loses its authorization to conduct inspections, as having a sufficient number of vehicles is essential for the validity of the station's inspection activities.

Maintaining a minimum fleet size is a way to ensure that inspection stations are genuinely in the business of performing regular inspections, as fewer vehicles may indicate an inactive or insufficiently engaged business in the vehicle inspection process.
