In addition to the information entered on the compliance information (CI) form for Australian Design Rule (ADR) 38/05 – Trailer Brake Systems, a braking calculation report needs to be attached to an application for an RVSA approval.

The calculation report must be specific to the variant information included in the CI form and show how the trailer or trailer type meets the requirements of the ADR.
