    PAS 125 is only in force with the UK just another obstacle the Insurer’s are throwing at us

    The Senior technicians panel test i believe is quite difficult.

    They put large dents in panels, you have to refinish the panel to within a 2mm tolerance, ie no more than 2mm worth of bodyfiller.

    You also have to fit a sill panel or rocker as you guys would call it.

    If you mark any of the inner structure with your saw or grinder you fail, also if you drill into the secondary panel when removing the spot welds you fail.

    The above has to be done within a strict time limit as well.
