Regulation 9

The Director-General may at any time by notice in writing require the owner of an off-road diesel engine to submit to him, within the time specified in the notice, a test report from an examiner stating that the off-road diesel engine was examined by the examiner on a date not earlier than 3 months before the date of the submission of the test report and was found to conform to any of the standards for exhaust emission specified in the Schedule.

Any owner of an off-road diesel engine who fails to comply with the notice of the Director-General under paragraph (1) shall be guilty of an offence unless he satisfies the court that, owing to some mechanical breakdown of the off-road diesel engine or other sufficient reason, he is unable to comply with the notice.
