ELD Approved List

Definition

The ELD Approved List is the FMCSA registry at fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/eldsta of every electronic logging device that has self-certified compliance with the §395.20 technical specifications. Carriers must use a listed device for any driver subject to the ELD mandate. FMCSA may revoke a device from the list if subsequent testing identifies non-compliance - a 2019-2020 wave of revocations forced thousands of carriers to scramble for replacements. Carriers should periodically check the list to ensure their deployed devices remain in good standing. Drivers should keep a copy of the ELD user manual, malfunction reporting instructions, and spare paper logs in the cab.
