PART 3 - Australian Design RulesNote 1This Part applies the second
and third edition ADRs to various vehicles.Note 2Under this Part, a
vehicle that is subject to ADRs when it is built generally remains
subject to the ADRs throughout its life. However, a vehicle need
not comply with a standard if the standard is replaced by, or is
inconsistent with, a later standard and the vehicle complies with
the later standard. Older vehicles may, therefore, be fitted with
any equipment allowed on newer vehicles.Note 3Vehicles that are
modified must continue to comply with the Vehicle Standards.
Modifications to a heavy vehicle must be undertaken in accordance
with Vehicle Standards Bulletin 6 (VSB 6). For guidelines for
modifications to light vehicles, see Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14
(VSB 14).Note 4The following provisions of the Vehicle Standards
extend the application of particular second or third edition ADRs to
vehicles to which the ADRs are not expressed to apply:
regulation 125 (braking system design for prime movers in
B-doubles) regulation 126 (braking system design for trailers in
B-doubles) regulation 143 (speed limiting)Note 5The following
provisions of the Vehicle Standards apply to a vehicle instead of
the corresponding ADR requirement: regulation 45(5) (window
tinting) regulations 52 and 53 (tyre speed category requirements)
regulation 105 (warning lights and signs on buses carrying
schoolchildren) regulation 108(4) (display of certain lights and
reflectors) Division 1 - Interpretation
