What are the current Australian Design Rules?
The Australian Design Rules (ADRs) are national vehicle standards for vehicle safety, anti-theft and emissions. These standards apply to new vehicles manufactured in Australia and to imported new or second-hand vehicles being provided to the Australian market.
From 1 July 2021, the Australian Government began determining ADRs under the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 (RVSA) which replaced the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989 (MVSA).
ADR applicability
Each version of the ADRs listed below (e.g. X/00) is linked to the full ADR on the Federal Register of Legislation, including amendments, compilations and explanatory statements.
The ADRs apply to vehicles according to the 'applicability dates' set out at the beginning (usually in an applicability table) of each standard. These dates are the key to identifying which ADR applies to a vehicle for a particular year of manufacture. Note, that the year listed in the title of the ADR is not the applicability date.
In some circumstances, these ADRs can also apply to vehicles other than new vehicles. ADRs may be referred to in other legislation. For example, state and territory legislation usually requires vehicles used on the roads to continue to comply with most of the ADRs that applied to the vehicle at the time of manufacture.
ADR numbering and amendments
ADRs are numbered to indicate original and revised versions as follows:
- ADR X/00 indicates the original version of ADR X
- ADR X/01 indicates the first revision of a standard where the amendment increases in stringency, includes additional vehicle categories or changes content significantly. ADR X/02 is the second revision, and so on.
Minor changes to ADRs do not result in a new version. Where another ADR is referred to in an ADR, the formal designation 'ADR X/…', together with the standard's short title is generally used.
The ellipses (…) indicates the in force version of that ADR, as per the applicability dates of the ADR.
A later ADR version of the same ADR may be complied with, instead of the earlier version. An earlier version (or sometimes a different ADR) may be complied with instead but only if it is listed as an 'Acceptable Prior Rule'.
