You will need this authorisation if you intend to examine and test vehicles in Western Australia. Vehicle examiners issue certificates of inspection for vehicles that need to pass examination requirements to be registered in Western Australia. This may be at an inspection station or a place specified on the authorisation, for a class of vehicle specified on the authorisation.
Vehicles that may need inspection certificates include those that are intended to be registered in Western Australia and:
- have had a defect notice issued on the vehicle (also known as a yellow sticker or work order)
- have been substantially modified (e.g. engine, chassis and suspension modifications, changes to vehicle dimensions)
- be subject to requirements that they be examined regularly (e.g. buses and passenger transport vehicles).
