163GA Maintenance records
If a prescribed scheme of maintenance applies to a vehicle—
the following information must be recorded, in the English language, in a clear and legible manner, on the prescribed form in respect of the vehicle:
particulars of all prescribed maintenance and repair work carried out on the vehicle; and
such other particulars as are prescribed; and
those records must be retained in South Australia for a period of three years, or for such shorter period as may be prescribed, in a form that permits quick and convenient reference.
If there is a failure to comply with subsection (1) in respect of a vehicle to which subsection (1) applies, the owner and the operator of the vehicle are each guilty of an offence.
If a vehicle is not maintained in accordance with a prescribed scheme of maintenance that applies to the vehicle, the owner and operator of the vehicle are each guilty of an offence.
The
Authority may, by notice in writing, exempt a person from the requirement to use the prescribed form when making records under this section if, in its opinion, the records that that person will make under this section will be of a satisfactory standard.
The
Authority may, by subsequent notice in writing, vary or revoke an exemption granted under subsection (2).
