Vehicle Equipment vii Objective of the rule Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Equipment 2004 is one of a series of rules that sets safety requirements and standards for systems and components in motor vehicles operating in New Zealand. This rule covers the safety and maintenance requirements for the following equipment fitted to motor vehicles: warning devices, speedometers, sun visors, mudguards, footrests on motorcycles and mopeds, child restraints, televisions, fuel tanks and fuel lines. The rule applies to all motor vehicles except power-assisted pedal cycles. The rule sets out requirements for items of vehicle equipment fitted to a vehicle and lists the approved vehicle standards to be met by child restraints. Most of the equipment is mandatory, but the rule also specifies requirements for safety equipment that is voluntarily fitted. Approved vehicle standards are specified for child restraints only. A choice of standards provides flexibility within agreed safety parameters. The approved vehicle standards are incorporated by reference in accordance with section 165 of the Land Transport Act 1998 so that, effectively, they are part of the rule. This rule applies throughout the on-road life of a motor vehicle by specifying requirements for certification as a prerequisite to first registration in New Zealand, repair, modification, in-service inspection and other aspects of continuing compliance. The rule is an essential element of the safety framework governing vehicles in New Zealand. It links with, and provides a means of assessment for, Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Standards Compliance 2002, which sets procedures for vehicle certification for registration, in-service fitness and other purposes. The rule states who is responsible for ensuring compliance with its requirements: operators, repairers, modifiers, certifiers, manufacturers and retailers.
