 (a) an approval was granted under section 21B of that Act and in force immediately before commencement; or
 (b) an approval granted under section 21B of that Act had been renewed under section 21C of that Act and was in force immediately before commencement;
the approval is taken to continue in force during the transitional period subject to the provisions of the old law.
(2) However, if an approval mentioned in subitem (1) was in force immediately before commencement because subsection 21C(6) of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 applied, then the approval is taken to continue in force during the transitional period (subject to the provisions of the old law) until a decision is made about whether to renew the approval, as mentioned in subitem (4).
