0.1. NAME OF STANDARD

0.1.1. This Standard is the Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 45/01 – Lighting and Light Signalling Devices not Covered by ECE Regulations) 2006.

0.1.2. This Standard may also be cited as Australian Design Rule 45/01 — Lighting and Light Signalling Devices not Covered by ECE Regulations.

0.2. COMMENCEMENT

0.2.1. This Standard commences on the day after it is registered.

0.3. REPEAL

0.3.1. This Standard repeals each vehicle standard with the name Australian Design Rule 45/01 — Lighting and Light Signalling Devices not Covered by ECE Regulations that is:

(a) made under section 7 of the Motor Vehicles Standard Act 1989; and

(b) in force at the commencement of this Standard.

0.3.2. This Standard also repeals each instrument made under section 7 of the Motor Vehicles Standard Act 1989 that creates a vehicle standard with the name Australian Design Rule 45/01 — Lighting and Light Signalling Devices not Covered by ECE Regulations, if there are no other vehicle standards created by that instrument, or amendments to vehicle standards made by that instrument, that are still in force at the commencement of this Standard.

purpose and SCOPE

The function of this Australian Design Rule is to specify the photometric requirements for lighting and light-signalling devices which will ensure adequate illumination for the driver of the vehicle and signal to other road users the position, orientation, intention and movement of the vehicle, without producing undue glare for other road users.

APPLICABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION

This ADR applies to the design and construction of vehicles as set out in the table below.

‘Side Marker Lamps’, ‘External Cabin Lamps’, ‘Passenger Car Side Marker Lamps’, ‘Search Lamps’, ‘Internal Lamps’, ‘Rear Marking Plates’, ‘Daytime Running Lamps’, cornering lamps and conspicuity lamps fitted to the vehicles specified below shall comply with the relevant requirements of this Australian Design Rule.

The circumstances under which lamps are mandatory, optional, alternative or prohibited are set out in either ADR 13/..., ADR 19/... or ADR 67/...

Vehicles certified to any of the "Acceptable Prior Rules" as shown below in the Applicability Table for a particular vehicle category shall be deemed to comply with this Rule.
