The site register, the quarantine clock and pre-acceptance, now in BreakerHQ
Yesterday we wrote that your permit already asks for a tracking system, and listed what the EA expects it to answer. Today BreakerHQ answers the lot. Built in a day because the requirements were already written down, in the EA's own guidance, and our records already held most of the answers.
The site register, one tap
The EA says your system must report "the total quantity of ELVs present on site at any one time", by type, with each vehicle's location. That is now a card on the Vehicles tab: how many on site, how many still hazardous, cars and vans and bikes counted separately, what sits in quarantine, and where each vehicle is. It saves as a dated PDF, same as the evidence pack, read fresh from the record at the moment you press it.
The quarantine clock
"Quarantine storage must be for a maximum of 14 working days" unless the EA agrees more. Move a vehicle to quarantine and the clock starts, counted in working days like the Defra deadline. The vehicle's page shows the days left, turns red near the limit, and says plainly when a stay has gone over. Leaving quarantine is one tap, and both taps are recorded.
Rejection, with the paper trail
The guidance requires "clear criteria that you use to reject non-conforming ELVs" and a written procedure for recording and tracking them, including telling the customer. Rejecting a vehicle in BreakerHQ records the reason and whether the customer knows, keeps the record forever, and can be undone, with the undo recorded too. Nothing is deleted, which is the point.
Expected vehicles
Pre-acceptance records must be kept "for at least 3 years in a suitable ELV tracking system following receipt of the ELV". The gate now takes a note before the vehicle arrives: the reg, who is bringing it, when, and whether the seller says it is already depolluted. If they do say that, the gate reminds whoever books it in to ask for evidence, because that is what the guidance instructs. When the vehicle lands, one tap carries the note into the book-in and the two records join.
The small things
Where on site is free text, whatever your yard calls the spot, and the yard's names are remembered as taps for the next vehicle. Suppliers are remembered the same way. A little cross forgets either, and the receipts keep every name forever regardless. The intended treatment route, another line on the EA's minimum data list, is set once in Settings and stamped on every vehicle from then on.
Still on the list
A weighbridge link and carrier-side reporting remain not built. That has not changed since the comparison, and what yards ask for first is what gets built first, so tell us.
