National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (NCOP)

The National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (VSB 14) has been prepared by members of the Australian Motor Vehicle Certification Board Working Party in consultation with industry, user groups, government agencies and individuals with an interest in modifying light vehicles and/or building individually constructed light vehicles (ICVs).

VSB 14 is a ‘live’ document and will continue to be revised and updated as required.

As a key part of the cooperative national road transport reform process a number of jurisdictions implemented increases in mass limits for heavy vehicles fitted with road friendly suspension on some routes (there will also be a mass management accreditation requirement for tri-axle vehicles).
