Part 1—General
This Schedule sets out standards that light vehicles must comply with to be eligible for unconditional registration and to be driven on roads and road related areas. This Schedule also sets out the requirements for warning lights and signs on buses carrying children.
The Vehicle Standards require a vehicle that is subject to an ADR when built or imported to continue to comply with the ADR.
The Vehicle Standards also apply certain adopted standards that are intended to complement the ADRs.
The ADRs do not apply to—
• vehicles built before 1969; or
• combinations of vehicles of any age.
The ADRs also do not cover every safety feature for vehicles built between 1969 and 1988.
These matters are covered by the Vehicle Standards.
