1. Introduction
1.1 These guidelines are compiled for the reference of the local vehicle
maintenance workshops. The workshops are encouraged to exercise
self-regulation according to the guidelines to help enhance the service
standards of the local vehicle maintenance trade.
1.2 These guidelines set out the basic criteria for the general operation and work
practice of the maintenance workshops. Local vehicle maintenance workshops
are still required to comply with all other relevant laws and regulations in force.
2. Interpretation
In the guidelines:
3
Registered Vehicle Refers to any vehicle mechanic who has been verified
Mechanic by the Vehicle Maintenance Registration Unit as
satisfying the registration requirements of the
Voluntary Registration Scheme for Vehicle Mechanics
and included in the register of vehicle mechanics.
1 "Emergency Repair” means an “emergency rescue”. It refers to the technical procedures required to be done for a vehicle on the roadway due to
an unexpected accident or incident so as to resume the basic operation of the vehicle (including safety and legal requirements) or have it removed
from the roadway within the shortest period of time. Possible scenarios include: (a) the battery of the vehicle is running out of electricity so outside
source of supply is required to help rotate and start the engine, and have the battery replaced if necessary; (b) the tyre, windscreen, wiper or number
plate is damaged or seriously worn, requiring replacement and/or rectification; (c) work must be carried out to release the air-brake system from
deadlocking caused by damage; or (d) the engine must be adjusted to the “safety mode” due to improper functioning so as to get the vehicle off
the roadway.

3. Business Standards
2 Special vehicles refer to vehicles other than traditional petrol/diesel commercial or private vehicles, including
specialist vehicles (e.g. X-ray vehicles), LPG vehicles, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel-cell vehicles, etc. These
vehicles carry special risks (e.g. radiation, leakage of flammable gas, high voltage, high gas pressure, etc.).
Maintenance work of these vehicles or their parts (e.g. fuel system of LPG vehicles) shall be conducted by a competent
mechanic according to applicable regulations and work practices.

safety at work.
(j) None of the advertisements, terms, contracts or descriptions should contain
any unfair or unconscionable terms and conditions which eliminate or reduce
the rights of customers, or the warranty or guarantee to customers, and
contain any intentionally or unintentionally misleading claims or explanatory
notes.
(k) (Relevant requirements combined with section 3.1(j)).
(l) Immediately or promptly take effective actions to settle complaints. There
must be willingness to deal with the complaints through the complaint or
appeal mechanism as necessary so that customers and vehicle owners can
have a fair and reasonable arbitration.
(m) Smoking is prohibited in the maintenance workshop.
(n) Prevent people playing or loitering in the workshop or its vicinity.
(o) No authorised entry to the workshop. The workshop-in-charge should be
responsible for the safety of whoever is granted permission into the
workshop.
(p) For any vehicle maintenance service which produces chemical waste (such as
waste paint, unserviceable/abandoned compressed gas cylinders, disposable
refrigerant cylinders, abandoned vehicle batteries / retired vehicle batteries3,
waste lubricating oil, waste oil filters, spent solvents, brake linings containing
asbestos, etc., the vehicle maintenance workshop is required to register as a
"chemical waste producer" under the Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste)
(General) Regulation (Cap. 354C). The workshop shall also ensure the
chemical waste is properly packed, labelled, stored and delivered to licensed
chemical waste collectors for disposal in accordance with the regulation.
Relevant trip tickets shall be kept.
(q) Workshops providing services to the fuel system of LPG vehicles should
obtain the “Identification Signage for LPG Vehicle Fuel System Maintenance
Workshop”4 issued by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department,
follow and comply with the relevant requirements and regulations.
(r) No over-storage of dangerous goods.
(s) Workshops employing 20 or more staff should have one “Workshop Facility
and Safety Supervisor” who assists the workshop-in-charge in ensuring
workers’ safety, and conduct routine maintenance and adjustment of
equipment and facilities.
(t) The proprietor shall, not later than 30 days preceding the day on which he
intends to put an air receiver into use, apply to the Labour Department for its
3 Retired vehicle batteries refer to different kinds of waste vehicle batteries including lead-acid batteries,
nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which are
replaced / dismantled from the vehicle and transferred from vehicle owners to vehicle maintenance workshops for
handling.

Maintenance Workshop”:

Maintenance Workshop”.
(h) Neither the hydraulic floor nor the bottle jack should be used exclusively to
support the vehicle during servicing. Axle stand in good condition should be
used to securely support the vehicle at correct contact points. The vehicle’s
unlifted wheels should also be securely chocked.
(i) Pay attention to the surrounding environment and conditions when
operating a powered lifting platform. Once the desired position has been
reached, lock the platform to prevent slipping.
(j) Ensure that electric power is used safely by staff.
(k) Remind/instruct staff to be careful with the supplementary restraint system
(air bag) and disconnect the system for servicing where necessary to avoid
accidental activation which leads to injury.
(l) Use low voltage or extra-low voltage devices for auxiliary lighting.
5 Registered vehicle maintenance workshops should actively consider providing the information of the responsible
registered vehicle mechanic (such as his registration number) on the job record, invoice or completion certificate.

# Workshops servicing LPG Vehicles must comply with the requirements prescribed in EMSD’s Guideline for LPG
Vehicle Fuel System Maintenance Workshop.
* If a workshop has no such equipment/facilities, it can still provide the relevant services to customers by means of
outsourcing. The workshop-in-charge should ensure that the outsourced service contractor is a registered vehicle
mechanic and meets the requirements stated in sections 3.1(h), 3.3(d) and 4.6. The workshop-in-charge shall be
directly responsible for the quality of the service outcomes. The said equipment/facilities are therefore just the
recommended facilities and the workshop-in-charge should decide whether to manage or operate these
equipment/facilities, depending on the actual situation.
