Question 95: When will FMCSA start testing ELDs that have been self‐certified?

While FMCSA will not be testing ELDs that are currently listed on the ELD registration list or during the registration process, ELD providers have the option of using the file validator available on the ELD registration page to test that their ELD produces a valid file. The ELD registration page will soon be updated with a data transfer testing environment for providers to test their ELD solution data transfer capabilities.
