Certification through inspection stations
Tasmania's scheme runs through authorised inspection stations rather than independent signatories operating from anywhere. Approved Vehicle Certifiers assess modifications against VSB14 and record certification against the registration.
Interstate recognition
Tasmania generally accepts Victorian VASS certification. As always, carry the complete record — certificate, plate photograph, receipts and build photographs.
