Timelines
Consultation on the draft regulations will occur until Friday 27th January 2011.
The RTA will consider all public submissions and amend the regulations as appropriate. Once this has occurred the regulations will be finalised and the VSCCS commenced.
It is intended to commence the VSCCS on 28 February 2011.
Feedback
The RTA values community feedback and encourages written submissions on the proposed regulatory framework and the draft regulations.
It is the RTA’s intention to create a strong and clear regulatory scheme that ensures the safety of certified vehicles in NSW, provides a level playing field for all licensed certifiers, and is practicable to implement. Your input to this framework is important to ensure that these goals are achieved.
Feedback on all issues is sought, but particularly on the boxed questions throughout the document.
Written submissions can be provided to the RTA by e-mail at [email protected].

This will change the existing RTA Engineering Certification Scheme to a much more complex and difficult scheme to get car modifications certified in NSW.
A quick guide to the new proposed Regulation: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsccs_guide_to_regs.pdf
If you want to sh!t a preverbial brick then read the proposed amendments: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsccs_vehicle_registration_amendment_regulation.pdf
At this stage its proposed for NSW only during 2011 sometime.
Public feedback is currently sought on the RTA Website: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsccs_public_comment_dl1.html
Public comment closes end February.
Something else to note:
By the time the VSCCS commences, it is expected that the RTA will have also adopted the National Code of Practice for the Construction and Modification of Light Vehicles (published as Vehicle Standards Bulletin Number 14).
There are a small number of aspects of the two national modification codes (VSB 6 and VSB 14) that NSW does not accept, and these will be clearly identified. NSW also has a number of additional requirements in relation to the modification of these types of vehicles, that will also be clearly identified.
In order to support the introduction of the VSCCS, and to generally improve community understanding of vehicle standards, the RTA will create a clear statement on its website of the documents that are called up under the Regulation.
Vehicle owners with Pre 2011 Engineer certificates but havent submitted them to the RTA yet for registration purposes
With the commencement of the VSCCS, it is intended that the only compliance certificates that will be accepted by the RTA in future are those issued from VSCCS Online. However, the RTA does not wish to disadvantage persons who may have obtained a certificate under the ECS in the past but forgotten to present it to the RTA and change their vehicle records.
The Regulation therefore provides such people with six months following its commencement in which to provide a copy of the certificate to the RTA. The way that this is done is by the registered operator of the vehicle obtaining a “Change of Vehicle Details” form and a blue slip from an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Station, and presenting both documents, along with the compliance certificate, to the RTA at a Motor Registry.
From six months after the commencement of the Regulation, old ECS certificates will no longer be accepted by the RTA and vehicle owners will need to obtain a new compliance certificate under the VSCCS.
Clause 76AU of the draft Regulation provides the transitional arrangements for certificates previously issued under the ECS.
