The NCOP is being considered for adoption by the RTA, but it will not replace ICVs. I assume it will replace the RTA standard for light vehicle modification.

The RTA have circulated a draft ammendment to the current NCOP to the signatories that pushes many of the modified cars into being an ICV. This include changes to wheel base, rebody and some others into being registered as an ICV. They then go out of the NCOP procedure and are required to comply with all ADRs with the exception of the those that have been made exempt for ICVs eg ADR69 and similar.

The national requirements for a low volume manufacturer (commercial manufacturer who actually sells their cars to the public) are lower than the current requirements for ICVs in NSW.
