         1.1.2 This Standard may also be cited as Australian Design Rule 72/00 — Dynamic Side Impact Occupant Protection.

         1.2 COMMENCEMENT
         1.2.1 This Standard commences on the day after it is registered.

         1.3 REPEAL

          (b) in force at the commencement of this Standard.

         1.3.2 This Standard also repeals each instrument made under section 7 of the Motor Vehicles Standard Act 1989 that creates a vehicle standard with the name Australian Design Rule 72/00 — Dynamic Side Impact Occupant Protection, if there are no other vehicle standards created by that instrument, or amendments to vehicle standards made by that instrument, that are still in force at the commencement of this Standard.

2.                                          SCOPE
