The Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme (VSCCS) is a new scheme under which RTA licensed business partners will be able to certify that modified production vehicles (light vehicles, motor cycles and trucks), individually constructed vehicles and personally imported vehicles meet the applicable vehicle safety standards. The following provides an update on the progress of the scheme.
Timeline
The VSCCS is scheduled to commence on 30 September 2011. The RTA is currently accepting Expressions of Interest to become a VSCCS Licensed Certifier. Visit http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/authorisedinspectors/vsccs/index.html for details.

Engineering Certification Scheme members
The Engineering Certification Scheme (ECS) ceases to exist on 29 September 2011. Members will receive further advice on the close down of the old scheme. You will be required to complete an ECS Exit Advice Form to formalise the final stage of ECS. You will be forwarded this form in due course. We wish to take this opportunity to thank all current ECS members for their contribution over the past 30 years. Current ECS members who wish to apply to become a Licensed Certifier under the VSCCS should lodge an Expression of Interest with the RTA as soon as possible. The RTA is currently conducting visits with existing ECS members to enable a smooth transition between the ECS and the VSCCS.

Insurance
Holding professional indemnity and public liability insurance will be a business condition of the VSCCS. The RTA has arranged to provide licensed certifiers with access to Principal Arranged Insurance (PAI). PAI insurance enables you to be covered for both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability for the certification of modified vehicles in a single premium.

The insurance premium will be $2,800 per annum payable each year that you are a member of the scheme. The premium will cover your insurance whilst you are a member of the scheme and for a period of seven years after you leave or retire from the scheme. Full insurance details and a copy of the policy will be provided at the induction and if you have any further queries regarding insurance please send them to vsccs@rta.nsw.gov.au.
Interviews for persons who have lodged an Expression of Interest
