23  Notice requirements for grant of road vehicle type approval
 (1) If the Secretary decides to grant a road vehicle type approval to a person, the Secretary must, as soon as practicable:
 (a) notify the person, in writing, of the Secretary's decision; and
 (b) provide a copy of the approval to the person.
 (2) A road vehicle type approval must specify the following:
 (a) the approval number;
 (b) the name of the holder of the approval;
 (c) the type of vehicle to which the approval applies;
 (d) the national road vehicle standards applicable to the type of vehicle and the reference numbers of the documents mentioned in subsection 19(2) that demonstrate that vehicles of that type comply with those standards;
 (e) if subsection 19(3) applies to the type of vehicle—the respects in which, or the extent to which, vehicles of that type are not required to comply with the applicable national road vehicle standards in order to be entered on the RAV under the approval;
 (f) the conditions to which the approval is subject;
 (g) the day that the approval comes into force;
 (h) that the approval expires at the end of the period of 7 years after it comes into force, unless it is revoked earlier.
 (3) A road vehicle type approval may specify that, in certain circumstances, a vehicle of a type covered by the approval may be entered on the RAV when the vehicle is outside Australia.
Note: Unless a road vehicle type approval allows a vehicle to be entered on the RAV when it is outside Australia, the vehicle will not satisfy the requirements of the type approval pathway if, immediately before it is entered on the RAV, the vehicle is outside Australia (see paragraph 15(1)(f)).
