Rosstandart, as part of an unscheduled inspection at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office, found that Istok trucks of the 4749D model range, 4749DT modification, category N1, produced by Istok, do not meet certain mandatory requirements. The agency decided to suspend the production of these trucks.
We inform you about the suspension of the release into circulation and circulation of Istok trucks of the 4749D type, 4749DT modification, category N1, in connection with the suspension of the type approval of vehicles.
The agency noted that the recorded violations pose a threat to the health and lives of both the drivers of vehicles and other road users, including pedestrians, and also mislead the end buyers of vehicles.
In particular, experts have identified an artificial underestimation of the maximum permissible weight to 3,500 kg, which entails the possibility of transporting a cargo weighing only 150 kg by an N2 category truck, although such a truck actually carries cargo up to 7 tons.
The agency demanded that Istok eliminate the violations, suspend the sale of such vehicles, and develop programs of measures to prevent harm, which the manufacturer failed to implement.
According to preliminary information, 29 such trucks have already been sold in Russia; previously, under another similar type approval of a vehicle, about 100 Istok vehicles of the 4749D type were sold.
