9.2.                                    Clause 9.1 does not apply to 'Semi-trailers' so constructed that:
9.2.1.                              cargo access doors, tailgates or other such structures when closed afford comparable protection; and
9.2.2.                              a vertical plane tangential to the rearmost surface of the rear tyres is 155 mm or less from a parallel vertical plane containing the 'Rear End' of the 'Semi-trailer'.
10.                                      ELECTRICAL WIRING, CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS
10.1.                                The wiring of electrical equipment other than the high tension ignition wiring must:
10.1.1.                          be supported at intervals of not more than 600 mm, except that this requirement must not apply in the case of any 'Pole-type Trailer' which is so constructed that the length of the pole forward of the trailer frame can be adjusted;
10.1.2.                          be insulated at joints;
10.1.3.                          be located in such a position that it cannot become overheated, cannot contact moving parts, nor constitute a fire hazard owing to its proximity to the fuel system; and
10.1.4.                          be protected from chafing. The edge of all holes in metal through which the wiring passes must be rolled or bushed with a grommet of rubber or other equivalent insulating material.

10.2.1.                          The electrical connectors between motor vehicles and trailers, for the purpose of operating the prescribed vehicle lighting and signalling must comply with Australian Standard 2513-1982 "Electrical Connections for Trailer Vehicles".
10.2.2.                          Every trailer must be equipped with an electrical conductor independent of the trailer 'Coupling', providing a return path between the electrical circuits of the trailer and that of the drawing vehicle.
10.3.                                Electrical installations intended for connection to a power system other than that of the drawing vehicle must be required to comply with Australian Standard 3001-1981 "Electrical Installations in Caravans and Caravan Parks".
11.                                      EXHAUST OUTLETS
11.1.                                Enclosed LE vehicles, and MA, MB or MC vehicles must meet the following requirements:
11.1.1.                          the exhaust outlet must extend at least 40 mm beyond the furthermost outboard or rearmost joint of the floor pan which is not continuously welded or permanently sealed which could permit direct access of exhaust gases to the passenger compartment, but not beyond the perimeter of the vehicle when viewed in plan;
11.1.2.                          the exhaust outlet, if to the side of the vehicle, must discharge to the right hand side of the vehicle and downwards at an angle to the horizontal of not less than 15 degrees and not more than 45 degrees; and
11.1.3.                          the exhaust outlet, if to the rear of the vehicle must discharge at not more than 10 degrees above or 45 degrees below the horizontal.
