Independent heavy-equipment verification registry

RegiVerifyEquipment Registry

Standard RV-12 · Revision 4 · In force since Jan 2026

What we check, what the evidence has to be, and how a badge is lost.

We publish the standard in full so a buyer can judge whether it covers the risk they actually carry, and so an operator knows exactly what an assessor will ask for. Nothing below is discretionary.

Operating principles

The badge is not for sale

Operators pay a flat fee that covers assessor time and travel. It buys an audit, not an outcome. There is no premium tier, no paid placement, and no ranking to purchase.

Failures stay on the file

A partial or failed check is published alongside the passes. We will not remove a check to lift a score, and we do not let an operator withdraw mid-audit to bury a finding.

Every record expires

Verification lapses twelve months after the audit date. An operator that stops re-auditing does not stay verified by inertia — the file moves to under review.

One yard visit minimum

No operator reaches verified status on paperwork alone. Records-only audits exist, but they cap the file at provisional.

The twelve checks

How a file is classified

Verified
All twelve checks cleared within the last twelve months, including an unannounced yard visit. Safe to transact under normal commercial caution.
Provisional
Entity, licence and yard confirmed, but the file is incomplete — usually a pending financial disclosure or a first-cycle trader with too few reference trades.
Under review
A previously cleared file has been reopened following a complaint, an ownership change, or a failed re-audit. Treat prior verification as suspended.
Revoked
Verification withdrawn. Either a check failed materially or the operator obstructed an audit. Do not transact without independent counsel.

How verification is lost

Revocation is not a warning. It is published as an alert, stamped permanently on the file, and it cannot be appealed by paying for a second audit inside the same cycle.

See published alerts

  1. A material check fails on re-audit

    Lapsed licence, expired cover, a lien found on stock, or a serial-plate irregularity. The file moves to under review the same day and the badge is withdrawn.

  2. An audit is obstructed

    Refusing an assessor access to a yard, presenting a staged site, or withholding a sales ledger ends the audit and revokes any current status.

  3. Ownership changes without disclosure

    Verification attaches to a legal entity under known control. Silent transfer of control voids it, because the audited party no longer exists in practice.

  4. Corroborated buyer harm

    Multiple independent reports of undisclosed liens, deposits taken on machines not held, or falsified hour meters trigger an immediate reopening.
