Gday Colin,
Don’t assume that nothing is happening. The Licensed Certifiers Association, the Australian ICV Association and a working group all have things already happening in this area. As a stand alone person you won’t find much action as the RMS deals with much bigger fish than individuals. You can’t join the LCA unless you’re a certifier, but I’d welcome your input at the AICVA.
Just because you know engineering doesn’t predetermine your knowledge of all of the legislation and how it all ties together. It’s not simple, and the RMS knows this and plays politics to its advantage. We are looking to turn this tide (hence why I mentioned the win I’m having with the ABS).
If you want to get in contact then email me (
treeve@kernowengineering.com.au ). I’ve certified more ICVs than most (I even own 4 of my own) so I know the subject matter pretty well...
