DPI Vehicle Examiners will require the applicant to provide evidence that an IM240 test has been performed on the vehicle and that the test results have been approved by DPI Vehicle Safety Standards as indicating that the vehicle meets appropriate emission standards for its type and year of manufacture. It is planned to implement this policy over time, using a phased approach as follows:
The following applications will require an IM240 test after 20 April 2009: o Engines modified by the fitment of a supercharger or turbocharger
o Individually constructed vehicles (ICVs)
o Engines that have been significantly modified to enhance performance (eg: with the fitment of a high performance camshaft)
o When there is evidence of reprogramming of the electronic control unit (ECU, the engine management computer), or a chip swap.
