Joint draft standards

This Amendment applies to the following elements:

• Appendix ZZ
• Appendix ZA

This Amendment applies to the following elements:

(a) Clause 5.2

The objective of this document is to provide designers, installers, manufacturers and consumers with the installation requirements for emergency lighting equipment and associated systems.

This document specifies the requirements and specifications which are applicable to installations where emergency luminaires and exit signs are used.

Where reference is made to a Standard by its number only, the reference applies to the current edition of the document. Where reference is made to a Standard by number, year and where relevant an amendment number, the reference applies to that specific document.

A list of all parts in the AS/NZS 2293 series can be found in the Standards Australia online catalogue.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:

a. Align the switchboard warning with the wording in SA TS 5367.
b. Provide further explanatory notes on visibility of EXIT signs and considerations/impacts when using lighting control systems in buildings.
c. Align with the latest version of the electrical safety Standard applicable to emergency luminaires and exit signs.
d. Align and make consistent the use of the term ESSS in lieu of battery (where appropriate) in line with IEC 60598-2-22.
e. Cater for emergency luminaires installed at mounting heights < 2.1 m and luminaires that do not achieve an emergency classification for use with the spacing tables. The changes include appropriate marking and installation requirements.
f. Provide explanatory notes regarding PL EXIT signs and applicable Standards for such signs.
g. To clarify some ambiguities relating to the labelling of emergency lighting – unique identifier.
h. Provide further explanatory notes on the application of this document and why it does not apply to areas such as high-risk task areas and construction sites.
i. Update the spacing table method to better cater for stairs with a dividing wall.

The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices to which they apply. A “normative” appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix is only for information and guidance.

The objective of this document is to specify requirements and test procedures for the routine service and maintenance necessary to ensure that emergency lighting and exit sign systems are in a state of readiness for operation at all times. The performance criteria for the routine service and maintenance of emergency lighting and exit sign systems ensures that they continue to safeguard occupants from injury until the next scheduled activity by having adequate emergency lighting and identification of and direction to exits in accordance with the approved design.

The changes in this edition are primarily a consequence of alterations made in AS/NZS 2293.1:2018 and AS/NZS 2293.3:2018.

The objective of this document is to specify requirements for the design, construction, performance and testing of emergency luminaires and exit signs, to facilitate the production of luminaires that will provide an acceptable level of emergency lighting to a space when installed to conform with AS/NZS 2293.1.

A list of all parts in the AS/NZS 2293 series can be found in the Standards Australia online catalogue.

The objective of this document is to provide the Australian and New Zealand electrical industry, including manufacturers, test laboratories, certification bodies and regulators, with requirements and test methods for plugs, socket -outlets or plug portions.

This document is one of a series of approval and test specifications to be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 3100, Approval and test specification–General requirements for electrical equipment. The purpose of this series is to outline conditions which need to be met to secure approval for the sale and use of electrical equipment. Only safety matters and related conditions are covered.

The essential safety requirements in AS/NZS 3820, Essential safety requirements for electrical equipment, which could be applicable to plugs, socket -outlets or plug portions, are covered by this document, taken in conjunction with any other relevant requirements affecting safety.

The objective of this document is to provide regulatory and testing bodies with a standard method for continuously monitoring methane and non-methane organic compounds in ambient air.

A list of all parts in the AS/NZS 3580 series can be found in the Standards Australia online catalogue.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:

(a) Alignment with current technology and to ensure consistency and uniformity across different methods used in other gaseous pollutant continuous monitoring Standards.
(b) Provision of an essential reference to AS 3580.19

This document has been developed as a performance-based Standard, which may include direct-reading instrumental methods other than Flame Ionization Detection (FID).

The objective of this document is to specify the general definitions and service conditions, construction requirements, technical characteristics and verification requirements for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies.

This document is an adoption with national modifications and has been reproduced from IEC 61439‑1:2020 (ED. 3.0), Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies — Part 1: General rules. The modifications are set out in national variations boxes which give instructions where the IEC text is to be modified for use in Australia. Due to IEC copyright policy it is not possible to directly modify the IEC content.

The objective of this document is to cover the measurement technique and measuring equipment to be used when a frequency response measurement is required, either on-site or in the factory and when the test object is new or at a later stage. This standard is applicable to power transformers, reactors, phase shifting transformers and similar equipment.

This document is identical to, and has been reproduced from, IEC 60076‑18:2012, Power transformers – Part 18: Measurement of frequency response.

This Amendment applies to the following elements:

• Front cover
• Preface
• Amendment 1 (New)

The objective of this document is to provide a framework that applies to all resources and specifies how to describe resources. It includes rules governing the way in which descriptions are made.

This document provides principles, rules and structures for specifying the description of any type of resource. It identifies and establishes attributes for specifying properties, resources classes, vocabularies and application profiles and the rules governing their use. The key principles set out in this document are framed in a user-centric context and aim to meet the requirements of multilingual and cultural adaptability from a global perspective.

This document can be used for the specification of metadata describing any type of resource (not only learning resources). This document is information-technology-neutral and defines a set of common approaches.

This document specifies generic properties, generic resource classes and predefined rule sets for content value rules. These generic elements are proposed in such a way that they can be widely reused, thereby promoting interoperability.

This document is applicable to the development of —

(a) application profiles based on the ISO/IEC 19788 series but not part of it or any other document based on it; and
(b) standards consisting of the description of resources (in a broad sense), whether they belong to the domain of education or to any other domain.
