30  Supporting material—vehicles on the SEVs Register, and vehicles on the RAV subject to second stage of manufacture
   (1) This section applies where the Secretary is deciding whether a road vehicle would comply, or substantially comply, with a relevant standard if manufactured or modified in accordance with a Model Report that applies to a model, or one or more variants, of a road vehicle that:
 (a) is entered on the SEVs Register; or
 (b) is entered on the RAV via the type approval pathway and will be subject to second stage of manufacture.

Vehicle, or component or system thereof, identical with type-approved vehicle, or component or system thereof
 (2) The Secretary may have regard to material that demonstrates that the vehicle, or a component or system of the vehicle, is identical, for the purposes of a relevant standard, to a vehicle, or a component or system of a vehicle, that is covered by:
 (a) a road vehicle type approval granted on the basis that the type of vehicle complied with the applicable national road vehicle standards; or
 (b) a road vehicle type approval granted on the basis that the type of vehicle substantially complied with the applicable national road vehicle standards, and the non-compliance was only in minor and inconsequential respects; or
 (c) an approval given under subsection 10A(1) or (2) of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989.
 (3) The material mentioned in subsection (2) must demonstrate that the type-approved vehicle was required to comply with the same standards as the model or variant to which the Model Report applies, based on:
 (a) the date from which the standards applied to the model or variant; and
 (b) the vehicle category.

Technical analysis
 (4) Where no other kind of material that the Secretary may consider under sections 27 to 30 in respect of the vehicle or a particular aspect of the vehicle is available, the Secretary may have regard to technical analysis that demonstrates the extent to which the vehicle or aspect would comply with a relevant standard.
