As this is an amendment, the focus is on the reason for the specific change. The text reveals that the amendment is delaying the implementation of a provision. The rationale behind this delay is not explicitly stated. One could reasonably infer that the delay may be due to readiness of manufactures of vehicles, or due to supply chain issues impacting the adoption of certain rules.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**

* **Specific Part of Original Policy Changed:** Rule 115A, in table 1, in the heading "Applicable with effect from".
* **New Rule/Provision:** The phrase "1st October, 2022" shall be substituted for "1st April, 2022".

* **Amendment Specific Implementation:** Focus will need to be on communicating the delayed implementation date to the relevant stakeholders and adjusting any compliance monitoring activities.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The intended outcome of the delayed implementation is likely to provide more time for manufacturers and potentially vehicle owners to comply with the requirements of Rule 115A, Table 1. This could potentially reduce disruptions to the production and sale of vehicles that might have resulted from immediate implementation.
