sec.30 Approval of an approved vehicle examiner
A person is an approved vehicle examiner in relation to a particular function (the approved function ) conferred on approved vehicle examiners under the Law if the person is authorised to perform the same or equivalent function (the jurisdictional function ) under an AVE jurisdictional scheme (the relevant scheme ). The relevant scheme applies in relation to— the approval of the person under subsection (1) ; and the conditions on which the person may perform the approved function; in the same way as it applies in relation to— the person’s authorisation under the relevant scheme; and the conditions on which the person may perform the jurisdictional function. If, under the relevant scheme, a person is authorised to examine vehicles only of a particular make or type, the person may perform a function as an approved vehicle examiner under subsection (1) to examine vehicles only of the same make or type. If, under the relevant scheme, a person is required to use, for a particular purpose, particular equipment only, the person in performing a function as an approved vehicle examiner under subsection (1) is required to use equipment of the same type for the same purpose. The relevant scheme applies in relation to the amendment, suspension or cancellation of the approval conferred by subsection (1) , including under disciplinary provisions mentioned in subsection (4) . Disciplinary provisions under the relevant scheme apply in relation to— the person in relation to the approved function; and responsible entities for the approved function; in the same way as they apply in relation to— the person in relation to the jurisdictional function; and responsible entities for the jurisdictional function. If the person’s authorisation to perform the jurisdictional function ceases or is suspended under the relevant scheme, the person’s approval as an approved vehicle examiner in relation to the approved function also ceases or is suspended.
