Can a sample evidence document referenced in a VIC contain information relating to more than one variant (eg. an engine variant)?
No, it should contain only the information for the variant applicable to the vehicle to which the VIC applies. Otherwise VSS inspectors may not be able to sign off only the parts of documents applicable to the vehicle inspected. This would result in such documents having to be identified as ‘new’ on subsequent VICs as the entire document would not be signed off. The exceptions are ADRs 18/.., 20/.., 23/.. and 24/.. ADRs 24/.. requires the the tyre placard to list the nominated rim profiles and recommended tyres sizes for each rim profile, even if they are not fitted to the vehicle concerned. It has been accepted that the tyre placard may have tyre and rim combinations applicable to other variants of the same vehicle model provided their applicability to each variant is clearly shown on the tyre placard. The tyre placard evidence must be shown as ‘new’ (even if signed off by VSS) on the VIC submitted for the first vehicle of each variant for which it is used. This enables the first use
