AUSTRALIAN VEHICLE STANDARDS RULES - REG 20

Compliance with third edition ADRs

    (1)     If a third edition ADR applies to the design and construction of a vehicle, the vehicle must comply with the ADR.

    (2)     If a third edition ADR contains a requirement for a type of equipment fitted to a vehicle built on or after a stated time, any equipment of the same type fitted to the vehicle after it is built must comply with:

        (a)     the requirement as in force when the vehicle was built; or

        (b)     if the requirement is amended after the vehicle is built and before the equipment is fitted – the requirement as in force:

            (i)     when the vehicle was built; or

            (ii)     when the equipment was fitted; or

            (iii)     at any time between when the vehicle was built and the equipment was fitted.

    (3)     However, a vehicle, or equipment fitted to a vehicle, need not comply with a requirement of a third edition ADR if:

        (a)     the requirement is replaced by, or is inconsistent with, a requirement of a later version of the ADR applying to the vehicle or equipment; and

        (b)     the vehicle or equipment complies with the requirement of the later version.

    (4)     If a third edition ADR allows a vehicle built on or after a stated time to be fitted with equipment, a vehicle built before the time may also be fitted with the equipment.
