CHANGES TO EMISSION TESTING TO LIGHT VEHICLES IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

As a result of considerable concern within the automotive industry about a complete change to emission testing arrangements for light vehicles in Western Australia a meeting was held at the MTA last week involving automotive repairers and representatives from the Department of Transport involved in the emissions testing arena. At that meeting a number of issues were discussed that have arisen as a result of the release of Vehicle Safety Standards Information Bulletin in March 2009 which took effect in April 2009.

The issues included;

· The lack of consultation with industry ;

· The inadequacy of the number of testing facilities;

· Problems with the replacement of catalytic converters;

· A series of issues relating to LPG installations;

· The lack of education campaign for members of the public; and

· No procedures in place for present for 4WD emission testing.

As a result of the discussions at the meeting, the following actions have been proposed to the Minister for Transport and his Department:

· The Information Bulletin on IM240 testing needs to be immediately withdrawn to allow consultation with industry and only reinstated when there is appropriate infrastructure in place to support the policy.

· That consideration is given to setting up a government testing facility along similar lines to that available in NSW.

· Testing facilities need to be made available to regional Western Australia.

· There needs to be a public education program to inform the community about the changes.

· There is a need to consult with the Police about the changes and future enforcement measures.

· There needs to be further consultation with industry over a 4WD testing regime.

· There needs to be much greater consultation with industry over the testing of LPG fitted vehicles particularly those that would fail an emission test prior to the installation of a gas system.

· There needs to be a system of accreditation of component parts that are deemed to be compliant particularly with catalytic converters and exhaust systems.

I have urged the Minister to take immediate steps to suspend the Information Bulletin to avoid any further outcry from industry and the risk of embarrassment to the Department. I will be meeting with the Minister tomorrow, Friday 21st August and emissions testing will be high on the agenda for that meeting.

I will keep you informed of all further developments.

Yours sincerely



PETER FITZPATRICK AM, JP, FSAE, GAICD

Chief Executive"

hopefully all the lawsuits against kostecki puts an end to this shambles

I got stickered originally for a loud exhaust, i was on my way to the DDD when i got stung for speeding and the wanker cop stickered me.

Car has got stock exhaust on but dpi wants the test done because of the idle (cosworth cams)

Is there any way to get out of this because there is no-one in WA equiped to do this test on a 4WD???

You can't get a test done at orbital as it's not open to the public, KEC have the contract to do the tests but they don't have a 4WD dyno so they can't do it on a WRX.
Most guys who have had it done have been charged between $1500-$4000!!!
From what I've read the testing is being suspended until shit gets sorted properly so give the DPI a call and ask them.

Sorry im a little underknowledged here, this is an emissions test yes? Would cams have any effect on emmissions?
