The Commonwealth Standard adopts (with certain variations) the Australian Standard entitled “Pedal bicycles for normal road use–Safety requirements” and numbered AS 1927–1989.

This Regulation is made under the Fair Trading 1987, including section 26 (safety

standards) and section 92 (the general regulation making power).
