In the case of Romania, as of 1998, under the Order of the Minister of Transport 353/1998 the first step was made for the harmonization of the national legislation with the European legislation in the field (Directive 96/96 EEC). The introduction of the harmonized legislation led to the modernization or replacement of the equipment used for the PTI, the supplementation of the professional training of the authorized technical inspectors with newly introduced legislative elements and the complex theoretical and practical testing thereof. Thus, homogenous results of the inspections performed in SPTI from the country have been obtained, comparable with the ones carried out in other European countries, allowing the coherent assessment of the status of the national car fleet.
The second stage for harmonization of the legislation in the field with that of the European Union has been initiated by the publication of Government Ordinance no. 81 of 2000 which transfer the periodical technical inspection carried out by "RAR in its representative offices and in the authorized stations" in compliance with the Order of the Minister of Transport 353/1998 upon the performance by "the legal entities in authorized periodical technical inspection stations, held by them, under the brand RAR".
