Australian standards

Australian standards

Standards are documents that set out specifications and procedures to ensure products, services and systems are safe, reliable and consistently perform the way intended.


They define quality and safety criteria in a practical way, using a common language, based on industrial, scientific and consumer experience in a range of sectors (such as, construction, engineering, information technology, utilities, the environment and so on).


Refer to any Australian standards document in the following format with a space between the letters and numbers.
