When ya make ya own safe do you need to get it rated or certified by anyone?.

I don't know about other states, but in Victoria I'm not aware of any rating system requirement.

Can't say definatively ,,,,, but one would presume that as long as the "minimum" requirements are met, it would pass any inspection.

But hell,,,,,,,,, when your having fun, why stop at "minimum" ?

Local cop inspecting would just have a look and day yes or no. He would be clueless.

At least in NSW, it doesn't even need to be made of steel. Hard wood will do as long as the rest of the criteria are met.

New SA legislation removing wooden storage containers and thin gauge steel as an option have just come in. There's a 12 month phase out period to give people time to comply
