warning system to the operator if not fully retracted when transferring to road use.
3.12 ADR Compliance

All modifications undertaken to the base vehicle during the installation of the road rail equipment
must ensure compliance can still be maintained to the Australia Design Rules for motor vehicles.

Changes to the body outline, lighting position, exhaust system and other vehicle systems affected
must be addressed in order to ensure an engineering certificate for a modified production vehicle
can be issued by an RMS authorised signatory.
Where the front rail equipment protrudes beyond the original bumper outline, suitable protection
must be put in place to minmise pedestrian injury potential. Fully enclosed designs are preferred.
3.13 Structural Welding & Fabrication
All welding shall be in accordance with the Australian Standards including but not limited to:

Welding may be subject to further close inspection before acceptance and other non-destructive
testing methods may be employed at the discretion of the Project Manager.
The cost of rectification and recertification of any defective welds shall be to the Contractors
account.
High resistance welding return circuits are detrimental to good welding under any circumstances
and should avoided.
All completed welds are to be cleaned of slag and weld spatter and suitably primed to prevent the
onset of corrosion.
