If a second edition ADR recommends that the ADR should apply to the design and construction of a vehicle, the vehicle must comply with the ADR. If a requirement of a second edition ADR applies to a type of equipment fitted to a vehicle built on or after a stated time, equipment of the same type fitted to the vehicle after the vehicle is built must comply with— the requirement as in force when the vehicle is built; or if the requirement is amended after the vehicle is built and before the equipment is fitted—the requirement as in force— when the vehicle is built; or when the equipment is fitted; or at any time between when the vehicle is built to when the equipment is fitted. However, a vehicle, or equipment fitted to a vehicle, need not comply with a recommendation or requirement of a second edition ADR if— the recommendation or requirement is replaced by, or is inconsistent with, a requirement of either of the following (each a later ADR )— a later version of the second edition ADR applying to the vehicle or equipment; a third edition ADR applying to the vehicle or equipment; and the vehicle or equipment complies with the requirement of the later ADR. If a second edition ADR allows a vehicle built on or after a stated time to be fitted with equipment, a vehicle built before the time may also be fitted with the equipment.
