Comment on draft standards

This public consultation process is called public comment. All comments submitted during this (nominal 8 week) period are reviewed by the technical committee and where deemed appropriate, the standard is modified.

Drafts can be downloaded free from our website or online consultation hub(external link)  as applicable. Search for draft standards by entering a keyword, a standard number, or an industry sector (such as electrical) in the search box. Draft standards have ‘DR’ at the beginning of their title for joint Australia/New Zealand drafts, and ‘DZ’ for New Zealand drafts.
