Seat belt light timer

[Jethrow]

So I admit to being confused by your reply.

The latest VSB14 seems to "miss" some legacy requirements? Or perhaps strictly speaking, they are no longer a requirement. This all seems to suggest then that you are actually volunteering some additional, albeit legacy, requirements of your own onto the builders.

Again, the current incarnation of VSB14 does not call up ADR 69.

Or does your approval process specifically state that you have to comply with the ICV checklist from VSB14, AND in addition, Section 5.5 (Seatbelt Warning) of ADR 69?

Thanks

Jethrow, the crux of the issue is this (which you might already know)...Each state has full control of ICV registration within it's own state boundaries.

So any National regulations such as VSB 14 are only guidelines that the state uses.

So for example in QLD, they start with VSB 14 and then QLD Transport add their own requirements and regulations on top.

We have had the same experience in NSW.

Even WA has it's own unique rules.

Every state has different requirements.

And it is also why not only the requirements vary from state to state, but also the process of registration varies from state to state.

Then you have engineers not interpreting the regulations correctly and who can blame them, they are convoluted. This is why this thread was created in the first place.

So the answer to your question is "YES". VSB 14 seemed to miss some legacy compliance requirements, no problem, the states that want them, just add the ones they want back into their requirements.

We work directly with engineers and transport departments to provide as simple registration process as possible for our customers.
