Exemptions
The most likely exemption from EU drivers' hours regulations is under Article 13 (d) of EU Circular 561/2006 EC : -
"vehicles or combinations of vehicles with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 7,5 tonnes used:
.......- for carrying materials, equipment or machinery for the driver's use in the course of his work.
These vehicles shall be used only within a 50 kilometre radius from the base of the undertaking, and on condition that driving the vehicles does not constitute the driver's main activity;
Where it is considered that the above will apply, a tachograph may not be required in a catering vehicle.
Otherwise, the user of the vehicle would be advised to have a tachograph fitted - and used - in the vehicle.
