And not all States or Territories require paperwork to the extent that NSW ask for.
Not saying they won't in the future, also not saying that NSW may relax there standards a little aswell.

I still think the issue is with the NSW RTA and not with the manufacturers.
All other States and Territories in Australia follow the same ADR's as NSW, yet these issues are only raised in NSW?
There are no more accidents or deaths in other States (or even in the USA where standards are even lower), so why should people living in the rest of Australia be expects to pay for the extra testing and unrequired paperwork, just to appease the NSW RTA.

Baz, not having a go at you or your letter, but Australia is more than NSW, and there is even less chance that a kit supplier would supply a kit that is NSW spec, another that is VIC spec etc.
If I was a kit supplier, I would simply be labeling my product as "for race use only"
