22—Third edition ADRs

        (1)         If a third edition ADR applies to the design and construction of a vehicle, the vehicle must comply with the ADR.

        (2)         If a third edition ADR contains a requirement for a type of equipment fitted to a vehicle built on or after a stated time, any equipment of the same type fitted to the vehicle after it is built must comply with—

            (a)         the requirement as in force when the vehicle was built; or

            (b)         if the requirement is amended after the vehicle is built and before the equipment is fitted—the requirement as in force—

                  (i)         when the vehicle was built; or

                  (ii)         when the equipment was fitted; or

                  (iii)         at any time between when the vehicle was built and the equipment was fitted.

        (3)         However, a vehicle, or equipment fitted to a vehicle, need not comply with a requirement of a third edition ADR if—

            (a)         the requirement is replaced by, or is inconsistent with, a requirement of a later version of the ADR applying to the vehicle or equipment; and

            (b)         the vehicle or equipment complies with the requirement of the later version.

        (4)         If a third 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.
