Inspection

1.High-quality Inspection and Biosecurity

JEVIC is certified to international standards (ISO/IEC17020) and by the New Zealand Transport Agency and Ministry for Primary Industry, ensuring fair and consistent inspection operations. VINZ also employs numerous vehicle inspectors registered with the New Zealand Transport Agency. Optimus Group maintains exceptional inspection and quarantine standards.

In 2018, the Brown Marmorated Sting Bug (BMSB), a New Zealand-designated pest, was discovered in vehicles imported from Japan. To comply with stricter regulations, the Group developed a heat treatment facility to eliminate pests from vehicles prior to export. This patented solution has been registered in Japan, New Zealand, Australia, the US, Europe, South Korea, and other territories.
