Twenty five SMMT bodybuilding members have said they will apply for the quality assessment standard and three chassis manufacturers. Renault. MAN and Leyland, have stated that they will require all of their bank stockists to conform to the schedule.
Bedford says that it will be looking at the code schedule to see if it improves over its existing standards.
