Joint draft standards

The objective of this document is to specify requirements for glued laminated timber, including test methods for timber properties, the strength of finger, face and edge joints and the adhesives that provide satisfactory bonding of the component parts. It also specifies requirements for tolerances, origin of timber related to sustainable harvesting, formaldehyde emission, marking and production.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:
(a) Restructure of the document.
(b) Change to performance-based requirements.
(c) Increased rigour in the requirements for ongoing verification, reflecting the growing use of structural glued laminated timber in higher-risk, multi-residential and commercial structures.

The objective of this is to specify requirements and recommendations for examining, servicing, maintaining, repairing, overhauling, modifying and testing diesel engine systems, including those that conform to AS 3584.1 and AS 3584.2, for use in underground coal mines to ensure diesel engine systems remain safe to use (i.e. in an explosion-protected or fire-protected condition) over their life cycle.

A list of all parts in the AS/NZS 3584 series can be found in the Standards Australia online catalogue.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:

(a) Alignment with other parts of AS 3584 where appropiate.
(b) Clearly defining the differences between maintenance, overhaul, and repair.
(c) Defining safety components, safety functions and gas tightness.
(d) Additional detail regarding thread repairs.
(e) Recommendations regarding replacement parts.
(f) Additional details regarding supervision of workers.
(g) Inclusion of the installation date for overhauled and tested components.

The objective of this document is to specify the test methods and specifications for hot-dip galvanized coatings applied to fabricated iron and steel articles.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:
(a) Title changed to include specifications and test methods, clarifying the purpose of this document, to make it clear that design requirements are covered separately and to be consistent with ISO 1461.
(b) Inclusion of a new informative appendix on hot dip galvanizing of reinforcing steels, which is not dealt with in other Australian or New Zealand Standards.
(c) Expansion of the Terms and definitions including terms previously undefined.
(d) Provision of detailed instruction on the assessment of coating thickness consistent with the method and requirements of ISO 1461.
(e) Clarification and expansion on requirements regarding appearance of the coating, including renovation of uncoated and damage areas of the coating.
