Review of AURVTN120 Remove and replace major welded panels on vehicles
The project responds to stakeholder feedback identifying a need to clarify the performance evidence.
As part of the national consultation process, we will engage with industry, RTOs, peak bodies, regulators and unions. We will also conduct public and government consultation and establish a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) as part of this process.
This project commences in May 2025 and is due for completion in August 2026.
