What is ADRs
Australian Design Rules (ADRs) are national standards for supporting the safety, environmental and anti-theft performance of all road vehicles being provided to the Australian market for the first time. The standards apply to vehicles newly manufactured in Australia or imported as new or second hand vehicles, and supplied to the Australian market.

Driving Success Together
With the communication privilege as an ADR agent in China, we’ve serviced a list of Chinese OEMs& Australian Importers to get the ADR certification done both on the vehicles or components. Suffix of this document presents typical cases that are traceable on Rover Vehicle Regulator(ROVER) and RVCS (Road Vehicle Certificate System) website by the Approval Numbers.
