Vehicle Standard Australian Design Rule 105/00 Blind Spot Information Systems

This document establishes the Australian Design Rule 105/00 concerning Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS). The rule mandates the incorporation of BSIS technology in new vehicles, likely to improve driver awareness of surrounding objects and reduce collisions, particularly in urban environments and during lane changes. The rule is authorized under the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 and is administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts.

Manufacturers and importers of vehicles will need to ensure compliance with the technical specifications and performance requirements outlined in ADR 105/00. While a specific compliance deadline is not immediately apparent from the provided text, the rule is in force and has a future date of March 4, 2026, associated with it, which may indicate an implementation or compliance date. Failure to comply could result in vehicles not meeting Australian roadworthiness standards, potentially impacting their ability to be registered or sold.
