Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme

Under the VSCCS, modified vehicles and non-standard vehicles may be assessed to check if they comply with legislated vehicle standards. Vehicles that comply with the standards and do not pose a safety risk are issued with a VSCCS compliance certificate.

Non-standard vehicles include individually constructed and personally imported vehicles.

The VSCCS replaces the Engineering Certification Scheme (ECS).

Note: There are no changes to NSW vehicle standards under the VSCCS.

If you are interested in becoming a certifier of significantly modified vehicles and non-standard vehicles, visit our VSCCS licensed certifiers page
