Quick question regarding 6 weekly inspections.

Quick question regarding 6 weekly inspections.
Am I correct in say that the inspection needs to be done on the 6th week any day and not exactly at 6 weeks to the day, as my TM is trying to tell me?

Yes. It needs to be within the 6th week. Look up 'iso weeks' and correctly input them on to a wall planner to keep track

The pmi can be done on any day within the fixed week. It does not have to be exactly 42 days (based on 6 weekly inspections).

A bit concerning that a TM is telling you that! is he qualified? They can be done on any day within the ISO week. I’m all for us learning everyday, but things like this are bread and butter stuff.

42 days = exact day
6 weeks = any day that week...

I have 8 weeks my OL but I also do them every 6 weeks as it gives you another two weeks if the truck is needed.

If you were to be inspected by DVSA, they will class anything over 42 days as a late inspection. Everything is loaded into a database, so they use the exact dates. Personal experience
