ELD Certification Process• ELD providers register their ELD with FMCSA

• Request a user account• Register an ELD• Provide required information

• Device Name, Model Number, Software Version, ELD Identifier, Image, User Manual, Company, Contact Company (Phone), Contact Company (Email), Company Website

• Self-certify that the ELD meets the technical spec• Process to update when modifications made

ELD Certification Process• Shortcomings of the Process

• Anyone can claim to be certified• Anyone can register an ELD• If FMCSA finds that an ELD listed on its website does

not comply with the technical specifications, FMCSA may initiate removal of an ELD model or version from its list by providing written notice to the ELD

• By then it may be too late for the carrier that may have spent tens of thousands of dollars

• 454 page test document to pass
