The National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (NCOP) has been prepared by members of the Australian Motor Vehicle Certification Board Working Party in consultation with industry, user groups, government agencies and individuals with an interest in light vehicle construction and modification.
It is important to note that the NCOP is a "live" document and will be updated by the Working Party as required.
Please be aware that the NCOP only represents the technical requirements that must be met - administrative requirements are dealt with separately by each state and territory's administrative guidelines or business rules.
Administrative requirements include, but are not limited to:
* Registration processes
* Fees for processes such as registration, issue of temporary permits, vehicle inspections, applications for approval to modify, applications for exemptions etc,
* Determination of the date of manufacture for Individually Constructed Vehicles
* Processes for submitting applications
* Administration and management of modification schemes
* Administration of signatories.
The Preface and Introduction to the NCOP cover the relationship between the NCOP and jurisdiction's administrative requirements in more detail and should be read by all those who wish to use the NCOP.
Certain jurisdictions will need to make changes to their administrative arrangement in order to fully implement the NCOP. Prospective constructors or modifiers should contact the jurisdiction in which a vehicle is to be registered or modified to determine the most up to date information about the business rules or transitional arrangements that may be in force.
