ATV safety standard just launched

The introduction of a new Consumer Goods standard on quad bikes, or all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), sold in Australia has been long-sought by Australian safety advocates.

It comes after a series of inquiries and public hearings held by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) since March 2018 and calls for change from organisations including the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF), Cattle Council and the Country Women’s Association.
