12  Scope check—is the road vehicle covered by the Work Instructions?
 (1) The AVV must complete each scope check set out in the verification checklist to determine whether the vehicle is covered by the Work Instructions.
Note: 'Work Instructions' refers to the applicable set of Work Instructions contained in the Model Report in accordance with which the vehicle was required to be manufactured or modified under the Rules (see subsection 6(1)). There may be several sets of Work Instructions in each Model Report.
 'Vehicle' refers to the road vehicle that is the subject of the verification being conducted by the AVV.
 (2)  The AVV may be satisfied that the vehicle is covered by the Work Instructions only where:
 (a) the specifications of the vehicle are the same as the specifications listed in the Vehicle Scope for a vehicle that has been manufactured or modified in accordance with the Work Instructions; or
 (b) the requirement in paragraph (a) would be met, but for a variation of one or more of the following kinds:
 (i) a variation of up to ±50 millimetres in a measurement of height;
 (ii) a variation of up to ±10 millimetres in a measurement of length.
Note: The Vehicle Scope will set out the specifications of a vehicle both before and after it has been manufactured or modified in accordance with the Work Instructions. The AVV is to refer to the latter.
 (3)  Where the relevant part of the Vehicle Scope sets out two or more alternative specifications in relation to a characteristic of a road vehicle, it is sufficient that the relevant characteristic of the vehicle falls within one of those alternatives.
 (4) A vehicle does not fall outside the Vehicle Scope where:
 (a) the specifications of the vehicle differ from the specifications listed in the relevant part of the Vehicle Scope; and
 (b) the difference is wholly the result of rectification action mentioned in section 19 of the Road Vehicle Standards (Model Reports) Determination 2021 (rectifying recalls).
 (5) Where the AVV is not satisfied that the vehicle is covered by the Work Instructions, it must:
 (a) record the reasons for which it is not satisfied of that matter on the verification checklist; and
 (b) continue to inspect the vehicle, or modifications of the vehicle, in accordance with this instrument.
