The CCA conducts, for a modest fee, professional independent Compliance Audits for caravan and camper-trailer Manufacturers and Importers.



The assessment covers the ADR (Australian Design Rule) and AS (Australian Standard) requirements, as per VSB-1 (Vehicle Standards Bulletin No: 1, as issues by Vehicle Safety Standards in Canberra).



To be accepted as complying, the audited vehicle must have the following

Certificates:

             Weigh-bridge (stating Tare Mass and empty Ball-loading)

             ADR 62 / VSB-1 compliance (coupling & A-frame strength)

             Electrical Approval

             Gas Approval

​

Disclaimer:  While it is a detailed assessment of one representative vehicle,

it is not a concrete-guarantee that all caravans and camper-trailers made by

the Manufacturer or Importer are of the same apparent acceptable

standard of compliance. 



A copy of the Compliance Audit Check-list is freely available to the public.



The audit is based on the “SUTI” (Single Uniform Type Inspection) principle.

​

If the audit is deemed to be satisfactory, the Manufacturer or Importer will

be issued with a Certificate, and will be permitted to affix a Compliance Label. 

There is no mandatory requirement to do this.  Audits will be conducted

typically twice a year.
