Defra testing and your responsibilities
Last test run: 2026-11-06
Who is responsible
- If you run a permitted or licensed site that reports receipts to Defra, the legal duty to do so is yours, as the regulated operator. It stays yours whatever software you use.
- Please do your own checks that Loadmark captures and sends the information you must report. Use the test results below as part of that, and ask us if anything is unclear.
- Defra giving FLI Apps Ltd access to its service is not Defra confirming that Loadmark meets the regulations. It does not test, mark or approve our software, and you cannot rely on it as if it did.
- Any gap, limit or untested case in Loadmark is listed below so you can judge it for yourself.
Our test results
Defra publishes 14 test scenarios. We run them ourselves against Defra’s test service and assess the results. This is our own assessment, not Defra’s. A scenario that does not pass stays listed as not passed.
