The van I bought in WA definitely had a gas and electric certificate and I had to get them redone in QLD when I changed the rego over.

It had to get another one when I sold it a year later.

damn I forgot here's the link

hi Peter, it's coming from Japan with the arrangement
of an import agent. The Isuzu truck complies to the ADR, just the camping appliances
are treated differently between states.
Alloy gas pipes don't seemt to bother in NSW, but have to be replaced with copper
in QLD for instance.

Hi Chris
BE VERY CAREFUL
Snoopy will no doubt verify this
But It is fed regulations that sets the standards for imports .
Copper gas pipes are mandatory I believe under those rules & AUS standardsi
ALL appliances have to comply to AUS standards


Likewise with electrics
AND OTHER FEATURES
There are many shonks in the van etc importing business & unfortunately they do manage to sneak some pretty illegal stuff through the careless state offices .
BUT sooner or later YOU are likely to get caught & have to pay for rectification
I would definately step back & do a lot of your OWN checking via some of the links posted above
Especially make your own direct enquiries to the federal dept of transport
DO NOT TAKE THE WORD OF THE IMPORTER, others have found out the result of that including with some very expensive set ups
You could even do a search & find other's problems by googgling "imported vans ","imported 5th wheelers""Importing vans from overseas"

thanks Peter, I check a bit more.
Haven't found someone who has one in service already and is not selling, yet, but
the two main importers I found brought quite a few of them over
already, most of them to QLD.
It's not the agent I am relaying on but the compliance workshop.
Got a quote and yes, it's expensive but part of the calculation

Have a read herehttp://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/motor/standards/index.aspx.

The seatbelts from Japan dont comply for a starter.
Plus all the things oldtrack has said.

The AGA (Australian Gas Association) website has document you can download that has ALL the approved appliances / components etc for use in Australia on LPG, natural gas etc. for domestic and commercial use. If it ain't there, it ain't approved. The Austrailian standard applies to all Australia funnily enough, not to where those salesmen / people say it is.
