23  Simplified outline of this Part

       This Part sets out matters relating to the material to be taken into account by the Secretary when deciding an application for approval of a Model Report to which subsection 89(2) of the Rules applies. It deals with the kinds of material that the Secretary may have regard to in determining whether a road vehicle manufactured or modified in accordance with a Model Report would comply, or substantially comply, with certain standards.

       It also sets out special requirements in relation to Model Reports that provide for vehicles to be converted from left-hand drive to right-hand drive. In such cases, the Secretary must have regard to a conversion design provided by the applicant. That design must meet certain requirements, which, among other things, are designed to demonstrate that the performance characteristics of the converted vehicle will be consistent with those of the original vehicle.
