Caravan Industry Manufacturers Standards

These are the Caravan Industry Manufacturers Standards

The Caravan Industry Manufacturers set collects the essential standards for tradespeople working with caravans, campervans, and RVs.

It is designed for those involved in the manufacture of recreational vehicles.

Included in this set are the requirements for gas and electrical installations (which includes PV arrays), and relevant appliances, fire safety, towing components, connectable supply systems, and the ISO 90001:2016 Quality management systems standard.

This set helps support safety and operational excellence via consistent, high-quality workmanship in the caravan industry.
