Ukrtransbezpeka updates its market surveillance plan: vehicles, parts and LPG equipment under Technical Regulation No. 389

The State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety (Ukrtransbezpeka) has approved changes to its 2026 sectoral plan of state market surveillance. In the plan, wheeled vehicles, new parts and equipment for them are now linked to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 389 of 25 March 2026 — the new technical regulation on type approval.

In short:

• the changes concern the first item of the plan — wheeled vehicles, new parts and equipment for them;
• the legal act for these products is now Cabinet Resolution No. 389 “Certain issues of type approval of wheeled vehicles, their components and equipment”;
• market surveillance is carried out throughout the year;
• the product list includes vehicles of categories M, N, O, L, tyres, brake linings, lighting devices, LPG equipment and more;
• according to Ukrtransbezpeka, the changes are related to Resolution No. 389 entering into force.
