australian approved seat belts

In Australia, “approved” seat belts must comply with ADR 4/05 (Seatbelts), and be fitted to anchor points that meet ADR 5/05 (Seatbelt Anchorages).

Check for a compliance label on the belt—typically an ADR/UNECE “E” mark, maker, model and date; if there’s no tag or it’s frayed, it’s not legal and not clever.

For retrofits or classics, use ADR-compliant belts and hardware, and follow VSB 14 or your state/territory engineer sign-off requirements; backyard bodges won’t pass inspection.

Child restraints are separate: look for AS/NZS 1754 on the sticker.

Bottom line: buy new, ADR-marked belts from reputable suppliers and have them installed by someone who knows their way around a torque wrench.
