PBS Standards Consultation Extended

The NHVR has approved a request by HVIA to extend the feedback deadline on its paper for the Phase 4 PBS standards review of the High-Speed and Stability Standard under Performance Based Standards (PBS).

Originally, all feedback was due by early January 2026. HVIA recently wrote to the NHVR requesting an extension, given that December is notoriously a difficult time of year to get member feedback on new standards. NHVR have approved this request and have now extended the consultation period until January 23, 2026.

We will have our first stakeholder meeting on the new standards on Monday, December 8, 2025 to gather feedback. The PBS and Brakes and Related Technology Working Groups have both been included in this consultation.

The three standards being reviewed are Static Rollover Threshold (SRT), Rearward Amplification (RA), and High-Speed Transient Off-Tracking (HSTO). These three standards are part of the fourth phase of the PBS Standards Review Project, and more information on Phase 1-4 can be found here.

We invite any HVIA members not already on the invite to let us know if you would like to attend this meeting and we can include you. Please contact Rachel Michaud at r.michaud@hvia.asn.au.
