Options Paper - Review of Low Speed Swept Path and Tail Swing Standards in the PBS Scheme (PDF, 965KB)

This paper presents options for the review of the Low Speed Swept Path and Tail Swing standards in the PBS Scheme - Standards and Vehicle Assessment Rules.

What is it?

The review of the Low Speed Swept Path and Tail Swing standards falls under Phase 2 of the PBS Standards Review Project. The Paper provides 3 options for consideration as part of the review of the existing standards and we sought stakeholder feedback as well as an indication of a preferred approach.

The options are:

  1. Review of current performance levels
  2. PBS Network Classification Guidelines
  3. Alternative standard

Why we consulted

We aim to ensure the review of these standards is future-proofed in the context of potential ADR and regulation amendments and changes influenced by international markets.
