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). Modifications to a light
vehicle must be undertaken in accordance with Vehicle Standards
Bulletin 14 (VSB 14).Note 4The following provisions of the Vehicle
Standards apply to a vehicle instead of the corresponding ADR
requirement: regulation 36(2) (horns and alarms); regulation 47
(5) (window tinting); regulation 54 (tyre speed category
requirements); regulation 104 (fitting of warning lights and
signs); regulation 107(4) (other lights and reflectors). Division
