Official text (Arabic)
This article has not been amended since the law was issued.

Article 15 explained in plain English
This is a transitional article that sets the relationship of the present Regulation to the previous one:
- Replacement: This Regulation replaces the Periodic Technical Inspection of Vehicles Regulation issued by Council of Ministers Resolution No. (169) dated 19/5/1431 AH.
- Repeal: The Regulation repeals every provision that conflicts with it.
In practice, for the provisions on periodic technical inspection of vehicles today, one refers to this Regulation and its Implementing Regulations, not to the 1431 AH regulation. The text before us does not describe the content of the previous regulation or the differences between them, so these should not be inferred from this article.
The phrase "repeals every provision that conflicts with it" also means that any other provision, in any earlier decision or instructions, that conflicts with this Regulation is not applied. What does not conflict with it is not addressed by this phrase.
This article connects to Article 16, which sets the start of effect of the Regulation 180 days after its publication, so the replacement of the previous regulation takes effect from the date the Regulation takes effect.
