"Car owners and specialized businesses will have time to properly prepare for the entry into force of the new rules of technical inspection," the government said.

According to the prime minister, from March 1, it was planned to introduce electronic diagnostic cards, photographic recording and launch other procedures that affect the work of the profile business.

“As in any business, all kinds of overlaps are inevitable at the initial stage.

For example, uneven load distribution, queues.

In conditions when the situation with coronavirus, although improving, is still far from ideal, this carries certain risks, including for human health.

I think we should not allow this to happen, ”Mishustin said.

He proposed to postpone the introduction of the new inspection procedure until October 1.

The decree extends, until October 1, 2021, the validity of diagnostic cards, which expires from February 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021.

Earlier, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation, auto expert Vyacheslav Lysakov, commented on the message that the Ministry of Transport would soften the requirements for the procedure for photographing a vehicle during a technical inspection.
