Inspection and certification process

3.7 Collecting fees

• Applicable legislation: Land Transport (Certification and Other Fees) Regulations 1999, Regulations 7 and 8.

Application for inspection and certification of vehicles for alternative fuel certification

The fee to be paid by an applicant for inspection and certification of a vehicle for in-service inspection (including alternative fuel system inspection) is the amount fixed by the inspecting organisation that is reasonable, having regard to:

a) the time spent in inspecting the vehicle to ascertain whether it complies with the relevant requirements, and

b) any fees payable to Waka Kotahi, and

c) any standard or usual rate at which the inspecting organisation imposes charges for other work carried out in respect of motor vehicles.

Where a vehicle subject to a Warrant of Fitness fails an alternative fuel system inspection, no additional fee is payable for any subsequent inspection by the same inspecting organisation for the purpose of the same certification, if such application is made within 28 days of the first inspection for the issue of the evidence of vehicle inspection. A fee is payable for an inspection if the vehicle is presented after the 28 days have lapsed.

Duplicate evidence of vehicle inspection

The fee to be paid by the vehicle operator to an inspecting organisation for a duplicate of an evidence of vehicle inspection (label) is $7.70 including GST, which is set by regulation. A duplicate can be issued only if evidence of the original inspection and certification, such as a checksheet, is made available to the inspecting organisation issuing the duplicate certificate.
