(approximately 1600 psi). The outlet nozzle shall be placed approximately 100mm from the test specimen surface and
moved slowly back and forth across the whole test specimen surface for a period of at least 5 minutes such that all
areas get approximately the same exposure to the water/detergent jet. The detergent injection used shall be a
commercially available degreasing detergent produced for use in high pressure cold water cleaners and injected at the
rate recommended by the detergent or high pressure cold water cleaner manufacturer.

Each Test Specimen shall be allowed to dry and then examined under an ultraviolet light. The area still covered with
the microdot identification system as indicated by the response of the UV tracer in the adhesive/coating material shall
be assessed visually.

Ten microdots shall be removed from each Test Specimen and the information on each microdot read using the
appropriate equipment for the system.

The High Pressure Cold Water/Detergent Cleaner Test will be deemed to have been passed if at least 75% of the total
surface area of the treated prepared side of each Test Specimen is covered with the adhesive/coating (irrespective of
the original area covered – see the second paragraph of section A3) and the data on 9 out of the 10 removed microdots
from each Test Specimen can be read completely and correctly.

(b) High Pressure Hot Water Cleaner Test—

This test consists of cleaning one of each Test Specimen Type 1, 2 and 3 that has been subjected to each of the
Accelerated Ageing Treatments, A4(a) High Air Temperature, A4(b) High Humidity and A4(c) Low Air Temperature
(ie 9 test specimens in all) using a high pressure hot water cleaner (sometimes referred to as a steam cleaner).

The Test Specimen shall be placed on a flat horizontal surface and the treated prepared side subjected to a high
pressure hot water jet with a minimum outlet water pressure of 110 bar (approximately 1600 psi) and a minimum
outlet water temperature of 85°C. The outlet nozzle shall be placed approximately 100mm from the test specimen
surface and moved slowly back and forth across the whole test specimen surface for a period of at least 5 minutes such
that all areas get approximately the same exposure to the hot water jet.

Each Test Specimen shall be allowed to dry and then examined under an ultraviolet light. The area still covered with
the microdot identification system as indicated by the response of the UV tracer in the adhesive/coating material shall
be assessed visually.

Ten microdots shall be removed from each Test Specimen and the information on each microdot read using the
appropriate equipment for the system.

The High Pressure Hot Water Cleaner Test will be deemed to have been passed if at least 75% of the total surface area
of the treated prepared side of each Test Specimen is covered with the adhesive/coating (irrespective of the original
area covered – see the second paragraph of section A3) and the data on 9 out of the 10 removed microdots from each
Test Specimen can be read completely and correctly.

delegation dated 8 February 2008).

Explanatory Note

1. The 2005 Vehicle Standards Compliance Amendment Rule facilitates the Whole of Vehicle Marking (WOVM) aspect of the
   Government’s Vehicle Crime Reduction Programme launched in January 2005. The Rule enables the Director of Land
   Transport to require vehicles less than 15 years old, which are imported after the WOVM regime comes into effect, to have
   multiple copies of their vehicle identification number (VIN) attached to them at border inspection or when they are inspected
   prior to registration.

2. If it is proposed that the multiple copies of the VIN are to be in a form other than microdots, application must be made to
   the Director of Land Transport or his appointed delegate for recognition of the system to be used. Any such new technology
   must at least meet the same security requirements as are set out in clause 1.2, the same authenticity requirements as are set
   out in clause 2.3, and the same extensive application requirements as are set out in clause 2.4. Approval would require
   a separate New Zealand Gazette notice.

3. Multiple copies of the VIN complying with the technical requirements in this notice and applied at vehicle manufacture in
   New Zealand or overseas, or post vehicle manufacture overseas are acceptable. However, if the multiple copies of the VIN
   from these sources do not comply with the technical requirements in this notice, an application must be submitted to the
   Director of Land Transport or his appointed delegate for recognition of the proposed system. Approval would require a
   separate New Zealand Gazette notice.
