10 Modified manufacturer's mass limits for a tyre relating to a particular cold inflated pressure

(1) This section applies for the purposes of section 8.

(2) The manufacturer's mass limits for a tyre are the manufacturer's mass limits for the tyre determined at a cold inflation pressure of not more than--

(a) for a radial ply tyre--825kPa; or

(b) for another type of tyre--700kPa

Example--: The manufacturer's mass limits for a radial tyre are--

• at a cold inflated pressure of 200-900kPa--5t

• at a cold inflated pressure greater than 900kPa--6t.

Because the latter mass limit (6t) only applies at a cold inflated pressure above the threshold value of 825kPa mentioned in paragraph (a), the applicable manufacturer's mass limits for the tyre is 5t.
