The SVA rule was (and I guess the IVA is the same) "lights should be e-marked or comparable" or something like that. The problem is, if they are not e-marked, it is down to the discretion of the tester.

Tester checked ALL my lights for E-marking at IVA (and windscreen and side windows).

I'd recommend fitting cheap e-marked lights for IVA, after all they can always fall off afterwards.
