Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'ADR'ing an Import' - What actually happens during compliancing? As you'd all be aware, in Australia it's possible to bring a car into the country that was not ever imported as a new car by the major automotive distributors. These second-hand cars - called grey market imports - must then be modified so that they comply with all the relevant Australian Design Rules (ADRs) applying to that year. This process, called ADR'ing or compliancing, can be carried out by those companies that are legally entitled to affix a compliance plate to that vehicle. The required car modifications are designed by an engineer employed initially by the compliancing company - and then, after the first car is done, other cars of the same model can be modified with just an engineering inspection required on completion.
