basically if you change a chassis or the body in such a way that it effects the stiffness of the vehicle, they may ask for it to be tested for torsional / beam stiffness.

They put the car on a big machine that grabs the wheels at various corners and twists and bends the car. The measure how much it flexes and calculates it's stiffness. They compare it to a standard (maybe even a convertable) vw and make sure it is at least that stiff.

The first time that one was tested it wasn't stiff enough. Unfortunately it cracked the paint and distorted some of the body panels. He then added various stiffening and tried again. So it pays to paint the car after the test. It's an expensive test too.
