category of heavy vehicles only if-- (a) 1 of the following applies-- (i) the

category are experimental vehicles, prototypes or similar vehicles that could

authority for a participating jurisdiction for the use of heavy vehicles of
that category in that jurisdiction;

permit or exemption from registration (however described) granted or issued
under an Australian road law of that jurisdiction;

vehicles consists of heavy vehicles referred to in the national regulations
for the purposes of this subparagraph; and
(b) the Regulator is satisfied the
use of heavy vehicles of the category to which the exemption is to apply on a

Regulator must have regard to the approved guidelines for granting vehicle
standards exemptions.
