If you really stop to think about it, our trailers are very under certified for what they do. Take the "required" D shackle, who says what chain type is needed, or how it's attached to trailer? Then how is the trailer made?
I have seen lots of "farm" trailers that got prettied up and registered, these things shouldn't have been used on a farm much less the road. Get some steel, or timber even, spend a weekend making your trailer, add shocks, hubs, wheels, coupler and lights and presto you got a register able trailer. No minimum specs or certification required.
Last time I got a trailer checked after lights working they did quick check of shock rating (how many leafs in my case) and rating of tyres. The tyres was what dropped the Mac load of my trailer, had standard car tyres on it lol topped out at 450kg. In my case the steel trailer was made by qualified boiler maker and I knew it could take a lot more than its max load.
Will be modifying that trailer and getting it inspected very soon.
