SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE

The Safety team is responsible for the health, safety, and well-being of our 175+ team members, plus external visitors to our facility. Following international Occupational Health and Safety standards, all teams operate within a safe workplace with support from qualified health and safety inspectors. Our facility is also audited by various government departments to ensure our compliance with all standards.

SAFETY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

The Safety of the vehicles we convert from left-hand drive to right-hand drive is a core moral and legal obligation Autogroup International takes very seriously. This commitment to vehicle safety through our ISO 9001:2015 Quality Assurance, Australian Design Rules (ADR) compliance, and our homologation of vehicles to UK specifications ensures our vehicles are of the highest quality and safest in the world.

iso Quality Assurance

Autogroup have proudly held ISO 9001:2015 Quality Assurance certification (by Bureau Veritas) for over 20 years. This proves our Quality Assurance is not just words, but a fundamental part the Autogroup DNA. It is an externally-assessable part of our conversion process that our team of Quality Assurance professionals consistently follow day in and day out.

internal Quality Control

The Quality Control team is directly responsible for ensuring all 1,626 Quality Control inspection points, for each vehicle, are documented and recorded. This starts at the vehicle unloading all the way through the entire vehicle conversion process, and up to the final Quality Control process which is signed off by our CEO before vehicle delivery.

A high bar for quality and safety

The Australian Design Rules (ADRs) are a set of national standards that ensure road vehicle safety, anti-theft measures, and emissions control. Every new road vehicle manufactured and imported into the country must comply with the relevant ADRs when the vehicle is first supplied to the Australian market.

Its important to note that vehicles configured in accordance with the regulations of countries other than Australia are generally barred from import to Australia unless they are brought into compliance with applicable ADRs and the conversion work is inspected and certified by an authorised external compliance engineer.

Engineering Compliance and Traceability

The engineering documentation team at Autogroup International plays a critical role in documenting and ensuring compliance with homologation and design rules for government regulations in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, and forty other right-hand drive countries. They maintain control over engineering-related documents and records, establishing traceability and accountability for each vehicle conversion, modification, and component. This meticulous documentation process ensures that all conversions meet the necessary standards and requirements.
