Qld Engineer Certification changes - coming soon
Got this email from the engineer that we deal with on a regular basis, looks as though Qld is coming into line with the national regulations
soon....see below.
Cheers

"Important information for all involved in vehicle modification in Qld
This may not be relevant to all – but is good information on current major changes in Qld vehicle compliance.
Transition to Light vehicle National Code of practice (NCOP – VSB 14) in Qld
Qld will adopt the NCOP VSB14 as of 1 Nov 2012. There will be a 6 month transition period where the old Qld Light vehicle code of practice will still
be valid as well as NCOP VSB14. After 30 April 2013 Qld Light vehicle code of practice is no longer in force. All approved vehicles prior to this
date remain approved.
Qld has some additions / changes to NCOP which will be contained in a QCOP (Qld Code of practice) document. These finalised regulations (NCOP and
QCOP) will not be available until October 2012 on the Qld Trans website. Current NCOP should only be treated as “DRAFT” and not regulation until
these finalised NCOP and QCOP are released.
The transition period is also to allow us Approved Persons / Engineers to gain certification on the new mod codes that will be introduced. We all
must ‘apply and be approved’ by QT to add these new codes to our approval lists and this will take a period of months. So there will be a period
initially when no engineers will be able to approve the new mod codes.
QCOP will contain both light and heavy vehicle mod codes.
National code of practice for heavy vehicles – VSB 6 will still remain valid.
Further info will only be available October when finalised NCOP and QCOP are released.
I would encourage customers to consider finalising their modifications for approval prior to 30 April 2013 to ensure compliance – some modifications
will no longer be allowed but some will also be added. Again we will have more info Oct 2012."

the main changes in nsw that Ive found out is the engineers have alot more work to do and it doesnt affect the customer (us) that much , will just
cost more to engineer a vehicle also with time invested in preparing reports for rta or whatever there called now .... got a price of $1000 to
engineer an injected v8 into a hg ute after the changes in nsw

Talking to a guy at work today that is doing a major mod to his LC torana V8 super charged and his mod guy told him on the weekend he needs to get
this done and signed off before may next year as there is a major rule change on high powered upgrades as most will no longer be allowed!
