5-9 Checksheets and the LT4085
Applicable legislation: Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Standards Compliance 2002, section 2.3
9.1 Checksheets
The vehicle inspector must use a Waka Kotahi-approved checksheet. Checksheet specification and approval application forms are available from the Vehicle Standards team (email: vehicles@nzta.govt.nz). The checksheet must be completed legibly and in full.
A vehicle inspector can determine one of two outcomes:
a) Passed inspection: Record the determination and issue a WoF or CoF label as set out below
b) Failed inspection: Record the determination as set out below. The reasons for the failed inspection must be clearly stated.
If requested, a copy of the checksheet must be supplied to the vehicle owner.
9.2 The vehicle compliance certificate (LT4085)
If, following the inspection of a vehicle and accompanying documentation, a vehicle inspector determines that the vehicle complies with all applicable requirements in the VIRM: In-service certification and in this manual, the inspector must issue an LT4085 vehicle compliance certificate.
The inspector must complete the LT4085 form in every detail and sign it. Sample vehicle compliance certificates (LT4085s) are shown in Reference material 5.
