Australian Government Approved Testing Facility · TFA-020225
Four Integrated Compliance Services
From de-risking gap analysis through approval, vehicle identity and real-world validation — handled under a single point of accountability.
ADR Type Approval
Vehicle (VTA) and component (CTA) approvals against the applicable Australian Design Rules, with full evidence packs — from category mapping through to entry on the Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV).
WMI & VIN Registration
World Manufacturer Identifier registration and compliant 17-character VIN structuring, lodged through ROVER and aligned via NEVDIS so vehicles validate cleanly for state registration.
Field & Endurance Testing
OEM-defined data acquisition, daily mileage reporting, fuel consumption, EV range versus temperature, and charging analysis — captured in real Australian conditions across terrain and climate.
ADR Gap Analysis
A pre-approval assessment that maps your current specification against every applicable ADR, ranks gaps by effort, cost and risk, and sets a clear, prioritised path to compliance.
From Application to Registration
We manage every gate of the Road Vehicle Standards Act pathway — operating directly in the Regulator's ROVER portal and aligning vehicle identity data through NEVDIS for clean state registration.
