What is ROVER?

ROVER is an advanced portal system designed to streamline Vehicle Type Approval (VTA) Applications and Second Stage Manufacturing (SSM) processes for automotive vehicles in Australia. It plays a critical role in ensuring that modifications to vehicles meet the rigorous standards required for compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADR) and other relevant regulations. ROVER facilitates communication, documentation, and approval processes between businesses and regulatory authorities, ensuring compliance at both federal and state levels.

What are Vehicle Type Approvals?

Vehicle Type Approvals (VTAs) are certifications required under the Road Vehicle Standards Act (RVSA) to demonstrate that a vehicle or component complies with the applicable Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and other regulatory requirements. A VTA ensures that vehicles or components meet the safety, environmental, and performance standards necessary for use in the Australian market. To secure a Vehicle Type Approval, applicants must meet a number of requirements:

Compliance with ADRs – Demonstrate that the vehicle or component complies with all relevant Australian Design Rules (ADRs) for safety, emissions, and performance. Provide test reports, analysis, and supporting evidence from approved testing facilities.
Evidence of Conformity – Submit comprehensive evidence showing that the vehicle or component consistently meets ADR requirements. Include technical documentation, test results, and validation reports.
Quality Management System (QMS) – Implement a robust Quality Management System (QMS) to ensure the consistent production of compliant products.
Submission via ROVER – Applications must be submitted through the ROVER portal, including all supporting evidence, technical details, and certifications.
Manufacture Facility Details – Include information about the production facility, including its processes and capabilities, to verify that vehicles are manufactured to the required standard.
Ongoing Compliance – Commit to maintaining compliance throughout the lifecycle of the approval, including periodic audits and re-certifications if required.
