3.The manufacturer’s plate must be indelibly marked with the manufacturer’s name and the vehicle identification number.

4.The manufacturer’s plate must be fitted to a part of the vehicle that will not be replaced through normal use.

5.The Stamped in VIN must be marked on the chassis, frame or other similar structure which is not easily removable, on the right hand side of the vehicle. (see note 3,5 & 6)

6.The Stamped in VIN must be placed in a clearly visible and accessible position by a method such as stamping, etching (metal chassis) or embossed, moulded into the structure (glass fibre or carbon fibre chassis) so that it can not be obliterated or deteriorate.

7.The VIN number must consist of 17 digits (except for mass-produced vehicles see note 4)
