(1)The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision—
(a)for the making of an application to the Secretary of State for the issue of a certificate stating the design weight of a vehicle;
(b)for the manner in which any determination of the design weight of any vehicle is to be made on such an application and for the issue of a certificate on the making of such a determination;
(c)for the examination, for the purposes of the determination of the design weight of a vehicle, of that vehicle by such persons, and in such manner, as may be prescribed by the regulations;
(d)for a certificate issued on the making of such a determination to be treated as having conclusive effect for the purposes of this Act as to such matters as may be prescribed by the regulations;
(e)for the Secretary of State to be entitled, in cases prescribed by the regulations, to require the production of such a certificate before making a determination for the purposes of section 7(5); and
(f)for appeals against determinations made in accordance with the regulations.
(2)Regulations under this section may provide for an adaptation of a vehicle—
(a)to be taken into account in determining the design weight of a vehicle in a case to which section 60A(6) does not apply, or
(b)to be treated as permanent for the purposes of section 60A(5),
if, and only if, it is an adaptation with respect to which a certificate has been issued under the regulations.
(3)Regulations under this section may provide that such documents purporting to be plating certificates (within the meaning of Part II of the [1988 c. 52.] Road Traffic Act 1988) as satisfy requirements prescribed by the regulations are to have effect, for some or all of the purposes of this Act, as if they were certificates issued under such regulations.
(4)Without prejudice to the generality of the preceding provisions of this section, regulations under this section may, in relation to—
(a)the examination of a vehicle on an application under the regulations, or
(b)any appeals against determinations made for the purposes of the issue of a certificate in accordance with the regulations,
make provision corresponding to, or applying (with or without modifications), any of the provisions having effect by virtue of so much of sections 49 to 51 of the [1988 c. 52.] Road Traffic Act 1988 as relates to examinations authorised by virtue of, or appeals under, any of those sections.
