Installation

All vehicle modifications must be installed by an authorised agent.

The RMS requires evidence that the safety standards originally built into the vehicle have been maintained. Therefore, the modifications must be certified by an Engineering Signatory who is recognised by the RMS for this purpose. If the modifications are satisfactory, the signatory will issue an Engineering Certificate which must be presented to the RMS. The RMS maintains a list of Engineering Signatories.

Standards

Standards

TGA
Many of the items on the ILC NSW website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
