PAS 125 Kitemark—Vehicle Body Repair

While a number of other standards relate to Vehicle Body Repair, many of these address the consumer concerns and not necessarily the technical aspects of doing the repair work.

Repair is no longer a simple task, it is a whole process from dealing with the accident itself, providing a collection service, issuing a replacement vehicle, carrying out the repair and delivering the repaired vehicle at the agreed time.

What is the PAS 125 Kitemark?

PAS 125 is the industry agreed technical specification for the process of vehicle body repair. It provides body shops with the processes and procedures directly related to the safe repair of accident damaged vehicles.

It details the minimum requirements for competent personnel, appropriate and well maintained equipment, suitable and quality repair methods and focuses these across the four main elements of repair—methods, people, equipment and materials, as well as the repair process and its ongoing management.
