6  Purpose of this Part
  For paragraph 136(2)(c) of the Rules, this Part specifies when differences in the design characteristics of road vehicles will, or will not, be significant for the purposes of subsection 128(1) of the Rules.
Note 1: Subsection 128(1) of the Rules provides that road vehicles of a particular kind constitute a variant of a model of road vehicle if their design characteristics are significantly different from those of other vehicles of that model.
Note 2: Subsections 128(3) and (5) of the Rules provide that differences in certain kinds of design characteristics are significant for the purposes of subsection 128(1), while subsections 128(4) and (6) prescribe differences that are not significant. Without limiting subsection 128(1), this instrument specifies further cases in which differences in the design characteristics of vehicles will, or will not, be significant for that purpose.
