Article 14 of the Saudi Vehicle Inspection Regulation

This article regulates the issuance of the Implementing Regulations of the Periodic Technical Inspection of Vehicles Regulation:

• The issuing body: The Chairman, that is, the chairman of the board of directors of the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization under Article 1.
• The period: Within 180 days of the date the Regulation is published in the Official Gazette.
• Taking effect: They take effect from the date the Regulation takes effect.

Thus the start of the Regulation and its Implementing Regulations coincide, so the Regulation is not applied without its Implementing Regulations.

The Implementing Regulations have an important role in this Regulation. For example, Article 13 has the oversight and inspection employees record the violations an inspection body commits of the provisions of the Regulation or the Implementing Regulations, so a violation of the Implementing Regulations themselves is subject to being recorded. An inspection body therefore needs to know the provisions of the Implementing Regulations alongside the texts of the Regulation. The article also connects to Article 15, which has the Regulation replace the Periodic Technical Inspection Regulation issued in 1431 AH.
