About
the Registered Automotive Workshop Scheme
| On
8 May 2000 the Federal Government announced the introduction
of a new scheme to administer the importation of used vehicles.
The new scheme was announced jointly by the then Deputy Prime Minister
and Minister for Transport and Regional Services, and the
Minister for Industry, Science and Resources. This followed
a comprehensive review of the Motor Vehicle Standards Act
1989. In its deliberation of the report, the Government
carefully considered the various arguments and the views put
to it by key stakeholders during the extensive consultation
process.
The new arrangements
include the introduction of a Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle
Scheme (SEVS) to determine the eligibility of vehicle models
for importation, and replacing type (bulk) approval of Australian
Design Rules (ADRs) compliance with vehicle-by-vehicle approval
of compliance conducted by registered workshops.
