ADR approved braided brake lines (regulations)

The new regulation is..
ADR 42 - General Safety Requirements
The function of this Australian Design Rule is to specify design and construction requirements to ensure safe operation of vehicles.
Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 42/04 ?
General Safety Requirements) 2005
Compilation: 1 (up to and including Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule
42/04 ? General Safety Requirements) 2005 Amendment 1)
Compilation Date: 12th October 2007
Compiled by: Vehicle Safety Standards, Department of Transport and Regional
Services
15. BRAKE TUBING AND BRAKE HOSE
Flexible hydraulic brake hoses, air or vacuum brake tubing and air and
vacuum hose, flexible and hydraulic power hose between the Brake
Power Unit 31/00 or Brake Power Unit 35/00 and the master cylinder
or its equivalent must conform to SAA, SAE, BS, JIS, DIN, ISO or ECE
Standards specified for flexible brake hoses, air brake tubing or hose or
vacuum brake tubing or hose or hydraulic power tubing or hose and be
fitted to the vehicle as to prevent chafing, kinking or other mechanical
damage under normal motion of the parts to which they are attached.
So basically, anything which comes from one of the reputable manufacturers i.e. Goodridge, AP etc, will be ADR approved. I'm not sure of any other manufacturer unless they specify that they are built to one of the above standards, but I'd hazard a guess many would be.
To simplify it.. any braided line must fall under one of the other world standards to be ADR approved.
Hope this helps
found this on another car forum
i bought some works braided brake lines which are D.O.T approved in the states
D.O.T = department of transport
same regulations as over here so hopefully that they will be adr approved as well.
