I assume by jack stands you mean axle stands? Are they the cast or tubular variety? In regards to the Australian Standards issue, can someone clarrify if there is a distinction between A.S. approved and "complies with", because with many regulations there is a huge difference. Usually "complies with" implies that the manufacturer warrants the product meets the stated specification, whereas approved means its been submitted for inspection and documentation is issued to show the item has been found to meet the specification.

Just to add a bit more. From an Australian Standards policy document:

All Australian Standards are, in themselves, voluntary; however, between one-third and one-half of all Standards are referenced under State or Commonwealth legislation. A number of Australian Standards relating to the safety of consumer products or information about consumer products are referenced in Mandatory Standards under the Trade Practices Act (TPA).

The TPA is a Commonwealth law and controls the activities of corporations. State and Territory Governments also have controls on consumer products under their Fair Trading Acts which extend to the activities of sole traders and partnerships. In recent years, there has been considerable progress in harmonizing Commonwealth and State controls on the supply of consumer products.

The Mandatory Standards under the TPA control the supply of goods, as opposed to the usage of goods. For instance, State traffic laws require that cyclists must wear an approved bicycle helmet; however, the Mandatory Standard under the TPA ensures that only bicycle helmets complying with AS/NZS 2063 can legally be sold. If the usage of a product is controlled, but the supply is not, there is a possibility of consumers purchasing products in good faith that cannot be legally used.

Sorry for the hassle, but you can understand my concern given the possibility of serious injury should equipment like a jack fail. I am genuinely and seriously interested in purchasing; I'm not just tyre kicking for the hell of it.

Nick,

Thanks for that. I managed to drag up the appropriate government document anyway: http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/663755

Although the standard itself mandatory, compliance with the standard does not involve any submission and certification (i.e. the manufacturer certifies the product). So everything is hunky dory.

Soon as I get a little cash (hurry up ATO!), I'll shoot you a PM.
