7 Principles for the management of emissions from diesel vehicles
Vehicle operators, both owners and drivers, have responsibilities that come with approval to use the road network. They must ensure that their vehicles continue to meet all applicable standards.
Governments, as regulators of on-road vehicles, need to have compliance programs in place that can ensure that operators are meeting these responsibilities. To ensure equivalent protection for the community, compliance systems should implement and achieve nationally consistent standards.
Community expectations and the impact of non-compliance need to be taken into account when assessing the adequacy of current levels of compliance.
