Abstract

This Regulatory Impact Statement assesses the impact of changes to various Australian Design Rules (ADRs) to bring occupant protection levels in forward control passenger vans, four wheel drives (4WDs) and light commercials to the same or similar standard as those applying in cars. The changes are to include three phases. Phase I proposals are assessed herein. Phase 2 (see ST 971932) is intended to apply ADR 69/00 to passenger vans (vehicle category NA). This ADR contains injury criteria that passenger cars must meet in full frontal barrier crash tests using Hybrid II of III dummies. New dynamic side impact rules wille be developed in Phase 3 of the package of occupant protection improvements. (A)
