Kinds of republications

The status of this republication appears on the bottom of each page.
Editorial changes
The Legislation (Republication) Act 1996, part 3, division 2 authorised the Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial amendments and other changes of a formal nature when preparing a law for republication.  Editorial changes do not change the effect of the law, but have effect as if they had been made by an Act commencing on the republication date (see Legislation (Republication) Act 1996, s 14 and s 16).  The changes are made if the Parliamentary Counsel considers they are desirable to bring the law into line, or more closely into line, with current legislative drafting practice.

3.	The instrument may be of 2 components, a light source and a light source receiver.  The voltage to the light source shall be stabilised within 0.1%.
4.	The light source receiver may have an analogue or digital display.  A peak hold facility is recommended.
5.	The instrument must be adaptable so as to be able to test light transmittance on all glazing of a vehicle.
6.	A pre-test check should display a reading of 100% when the light source and receiver are brought into the test position (without a test sample). The instrument reading under sample test conditions shall be in a proportion of that 100% with a resolution of 1%.
7.	The accuracy of the transmittance reading shall be within 5% of full scale over the range of 20% to 100%.
8.	The light source shall be representative of illuminant A of the International Commission on Illumination (C.I.E.) and be of an incandescent filament source at a nominal colour temperature of 2856oK.
9.	The light receiver shall have a relative spectral sensitivity conforming to the requirements of the C.I.E. 1931 “Standard observer for photopic vision”.
10.	Each machine shall bear a unique serial number issued by its manufacturer.
11.	Calibration and service of the instrument shall be undertaken at regular intervals in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, or every 12 months where the manufacturer does not provide recommendations for service or calibrations.
Noise Testing Equipment
Scope
	This specification sets out the requirement for an instrument to measure the noise generated by a vehicle at the exhaust pipe outlet.
Design Requirements
1.	The device shall be capable of measuring noise across the range of 50 to 120 dB within the A and C frequency rating characteristics.
2.	The device may have 1 or more frequency range indicators which must overlap by a minimum of 10 dB.
3.	The device must be capable of displaying the maximum noise reading and maintaining that reading until reset.  The display must be digital in increments not exceeding 0.2 dB.
4.	The device must be accurate to + or - 1.5 dB.
5.	Over and under range indication is required at +10 dB and -5 dB.
6.	Self calibration indication is required and adjustment must be provided.
	Note:  Calibration using an external noise generating device corrected to a sound pressure of + or - 1 dB immediately prior to each noise test is an acceptable alternative to self calibration indication.
7.	 Calibration using an outside noise generating device corrected to a sound pressure level of + or - 1 dB must be carried out in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations or every 3 months where the manufacturer does not provide recommendations for service or calibration.

NOTES
1.	The Motor Traffic Regulations 1934 (in force under the Motor Traffic Act 1936) as shown in this reprint comprise Regulations made on 19 March 1934 amended as indicated in the Tables below.
	The Motor Traffic Regulations 1934 were amended by the Statutory Offices (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1994.  The amendments are incorporated in this reprint.
	For any application, saving or transitional provisions relating to the amendments see the previously mentioned Act.
	Citation of Laws—The Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act 1989  (No. 21, 1989) altered the citation of most Ordinances so that after Self-Government day they are to be cited as Acts.  That Act also affects references in ACT laws to Commonwealth Acts.
2.	The Legislation (Republication) Act 1996 (No. 51, 1996) authorises the Parliamentary Counsel in preparing a law for republication, to make certain editorial and other formal amendments in accordance with current legislative drafting practice.  Those amendments make no change in the law.  Amendments made pursuant to that Act do not appear in the Table of Amendments but details may be obtained on request from the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office.

3.	The Motor Traffic Regulations 1934 as amended were modified by regulation 3 of the Motor Traffic Regulations (Amendment) (No. 15, 1997).  

The modifications are not incorporated in the text, they are set out below.
3.	Double demerit points
	“The Principal Regulations have effect in relation to an offence committed, or alleged to have been committed, during the period commencing on 7 June 1997 and ending at the expiration of 9 June 1997 as if—
	(a)	subregulation 32 (5) had been amended by inserting ‘double’ before ‘the number of demerit points’;
	(b)	subregulation 32 (6) had been omitted and the following subregulation substituted:
‘(6)  For the purposes of subsection 180NB (1) of the Act, the prescribed number of demerit points in respect of a corresponding offence (in this subregulation referred to as an ‘inter-State offence’) is—
	(a)	except where paragraph (b) applies—the number of demerit points specified in column 5 of the item in Part II of the Schedule that relates to the offence to which the inter-State offence corresponds; and
	(b)	in the case of an inter-State offence under the law of New South Wales—double the number of demerit points so specified.’; and
	(c)	subregulation 32 (8) had been amended by inserting ‘double’ before ‘the number of demerit points’.”.
