HEAVY VEHICLE (MASS, DIMENSION AND LOADING) NATIONAL REGULATION - REG 6
Prescribed mass requirements
6 Prescribed mass requirements
(1) The mass requirements imposed by this Division and Schedules 1 to 5A are
prescribed mass requirements for the purposes of section 95 of the Law.
(2)
Schedule 1 imposes mass limits that apply generally to a heavy vehicle or to
components of a heavy vehicle (the
"general mass limits" ).
(3) The general mass limits are subject to
exceptions (each a
"mass exception" ) provided under section 7 and Schedules 2 to 5A in relation
to a heavy vehicle or a component of a heavy vehicle. Note— A component,
for example, may be a vehicle towing another vehicle, a vehicle being towed, a
single axle, an axle group or a tyre.
(4) Sections 8 to 10 impose
requirements based on manufacturer’s mass limits or other mass limits.
(5)
The prescribed mass requirements mentioned in this section apply in relation
to a heavy vehicle or component whether or not the vehicle is loaded. Note—
The general mass limits and mass exceptions make no distinction between a
loaded or unloaded vehicle or component because an essential consideration is
the mass that is applied to a road on which a heavy vehicle or component is
being used.
