that forms part of the vehicle. Protective belt , sometimes called a protective ply or breaker , means an optional layer of ply material (cords) located immediately under the tread to minimise damage to the structural belts beneath. Note 2 Where a heavy vehicle radial-ply tyre has visible cords in the tread area, the vehicle inspector may pass such a tyre for CoF provided the tyre is in a safe condition, eg only the protective cord layer (protective belt, see Figure 10
Organisation identifies damage on a vehicle during the border check, the vehicle will be flagged as damaged on LANDATA. If the vehicle inspector determines that the damage does not exceed the threshold for requiring repair certification, an application must be made to remove the damage flag. See Technical bulletin 6: LT307 Declaring that a vehicle doesn't require repair certification . The vehicle inspector must complete the Request to remove border damage flag form and give it to the
A vehicle must be failed for WoF if a shock absorber has excessive leakage of damping fluid. However, it seems that quite a few inspectors are incorrectly failing a vehicle when the shock absorber only displays “misting”. Misting is normal on shock absorbers and must pass for WoF/CoF. By design, the piston rod carries a film of oil through the rod seal to lubricate the seal lips, thereby reducing friction/wear at the seal contact area, and prolonging seal life. Misting occurs when the
involved in crashes where mechanical faults are a contributing factor would need fewer inspections overall. New vehicles : first WoF issued for 4 years. Vehicles 4-10 years old : WoF required every 2 years. Vehicles over 10 years old : WoF required every year. Light rental vehicles under 5 years old : CoF A required every year. Inspection scope: WoF and CoF A inspections would require checks of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features. Inspectors would check fault lights for
returning for recheck following brake repair are not expected to be dismantled again for invasive inspection if a declaration from a recognised brake repairer is supplied. The 'Brake repair declaration' form is shown in Reference material 42 Note 6 Brake parts that meet UN/ECE Regulation 90R are acceptable for vehicles undergoing entry certification. The vehicle inspector must retain documented evidence that the brake parts meet UN/ECE 90R and are suitable for the particular vehicle (in the

Organisation identifies damage on a vehicle during the border check, the vehicle will be flagged as damaged on LANDATA. If the vehicle inspector determines that the damage does not exceed the threshold for requiring specialist repair certification, an application must be made to remove the damage flag. A ‘Request to remove border damage flag’ form is available in Reference material 17 . The vehicle inspector must complete this form and give it to the IO supervisor authorised to remove damage
meets the standards for issuing a CoF, they can request that the 4085D Operator statement of compliance with maintenance requirements for parking brake assemblies form be presented to provide proof of inspection/servicing in the last two years (once the vehicle exceeds two years from date of first registration in New Zealand, or every CoF from date of first registration if entry certified as a used vehicle). If an operator does not have a valid 4085D to present, then the vehicle inspector can
