189  Simplified outline of this Part

      This Part provides for the variation, suspension and revocation of approvals.
      Divisions 2 and 3 empower the Minister to vary, suspend or revoke approvals granted by the Minister under this instrument, either on his or her own motion, or following an application by the approval‑holder. The Secretary has the same power in relation to approvals granted by the Secretary. The Part sets out a number of matters that the Minister and Secretary must take into account when deciding whether to vary, suspend or revoke an approval.
      Division 4 further provides that a road vehicle type approval or component type approval will, in certain circumstances, be automatically suspended following a change to the applicable national road vehicle standards. In these circumstances, the approval‑holder will need to apply to the Secretary for a variation of the relevant approval. If the Secretary does not vary the approval (or decide that there is no need to do so) before the new or amended standard would apply, the approval is suspended from that applicability time until the time the Secretary varies the approval (or decides that variation is unnecessary).
