Certifying heavy vehicle modifications is crucial to ensure any changes meet stringent safety and legal standards, especially for heavy vehicle modification services in Victoria. Modifications such as truck chassis extensions, suspension upgrades for heavy vehicles, or GVM upgrades can significantly impact roadworthiness and compliance. Certification guarantees these specialised heavy vehicle alterations are safe, reliable, and compliant with national codes like VSB6, ensuring heavy vehicle compliance in Victoria.
This process not only protects drivers and other road users by maintaining vehicle safety but also simplifies regulatory approval, allowing modifications to be legally recognised across all Australian states. Additionally, certification provides clear documentation through modification plates, making future inspections and resale easier.
In essence, vehicle modification certification is vital for ensuring heavy vehicles remain safe, legal, and fit for purpose after any modification.

In Australia, a heavy vehicle has a gross vehicle mass (GVM) or aggregate trailer mass (ATM) over 4.5 tonnes. Only changes that affect design, safety, or compliance need approval. Small additions like extra lights, aerials, or air-conditioning usually do not require it if the vehicle stays compliant. Major or safety-related changes such as suspension work, chassis modifications, or mass rating upgrades must be approved by an engineer under the Heavy Vehicle Modifications Code (VSB6).
A VASS (Vehicle Assessment Signatory Scheme) certificate is an engineer’s approval for a heavy vehicle modification. It confirms the work meets all required standards. Any heavy vehicle over 4.5 tonnes GVM modified under VSB6 rules needs a VASS certificate. This approval is accepted across Australia.
Any change to structure or systems that affects safety or compliance often needs certification. Examples include suspension upgrades, brake changes, chassis or wheelbase adjustments, custom body mounts, tow coupling or fifth wheel installation, and changes to mass ratings (GVM, ATM, GCM). Accessories like extra lights or radio aerials usually don’t require it.
