Inspection and certification process

3-4 Establishing whether the vehicle complies

1. Select the CNG or LPG section of this manual depending on which fuel system is installed in the vehicle.

2. Inspect and test the alternative fuel system to determine whether it complies with the requirements set out in this manual, including clause 3.1.2.2.

3. The vehicle inspector or inspecting organisation may refuse to inspect a vehicle which:

a) is presented in such a condition that inspection is unreasonably difficult or cannot be completed (components missing, covered in dirt, etc) or

b) has an insecure load.

4. The alternative fuel system complies when it has been inspected according to this manual and the alternative fuel inspector determines that no reasons for rejection apply and that it meets all the requirements in 3.1.2(2). The vehicle inspector must pass the vehicle for certification.

5. The alternative fuel system does not comply when it has been inspected according to this manual and the alternative fuel inspector determines that a reason for rejection applies or that it does not meet a requirement in 3.1.2(2). The vehicle inspector must reject the vehicle for certification.

6. Where the inspector requires further information in order to determine compliance with the requirements, the inspector must not certify the vehicle until the information has been obtained.
