Sanitary and technical compliance
Each vehicle intended to transport perishable goods under controlled temperature must be accompanied by a document called the ATP technical compliance certificate.
This document must be presented at any time, for example during a roadside inspection.
This document is valid for a period of 6 years from the manufacture of your vehicle.
Before the end of the validity period, a test must be carried out in an approved test centre.
If successful, this test allows the validity to be extended for an additional 3 years.
AUBINEAU Constructeur operates an authorised centre in La Petite-Boissière (79) France, to perform these tests and issue CEMAFROID approval.

Pre-inspection
Your vehicle must be in impeccable maintenance condition.
For information, here are some reasons why a technical inspection may be declared unfavourable:
Poor refrigeration unit performance due to:
- premature wear or poor maintenance
- lack of refrigerant gas
- etc.
Insulated body in poor condition and reduced insulation coefficient due to:
- presence of moisture in the side panels
- torn door seal
- poor condition of the rear door surfaces
- poorly carried out repair
- etc.
Our network technicians are available to assess the condition of your vehicle.
They will provide a free quotation for the necessary repairs, allowing you to approach this mandatory stage in your vehicle’s life with peace of mind.
Inspections
This test checks whether the vehicle can cool down sufficiently quickly to its class temperature or maintain this temperature for a predefined period.
As a result, Class C vehicles (-20 °C) that were previously systematically downgraded may now, if they demonstrate compliance, retain their certificate for an additional 6 years.
