Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

The Board can create rules for how motor vehicle inspections are done. You can find out how these inspections are arranged in section 87U(3). The Board must make sure the rules are fair and necessary. The Board has to follow some principles when making these rules. They must ensure the inspections are done to a high standard. The rules cannot be too expensive for the people doing the inspections or for the public. When the Board makes these rules, they are like laws and must be published in a certain way, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
