AS/NZS 5026:2012
The storage and handling of Class 4 dangerous goods
Sets out requirements and recommendations for the safe storage and handling of flammable solids, substances liable to spontaneous combustion, and substances that in contact with water emit flammable gases. Covers dangerous goods that, in Australia, are classified as Division 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 in the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG Code); and, in New Zealand, meet the 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 classification criteria of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act, 1996. The Standard also applies to other dangerous goods that are assigned Division 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 subsidiary risks by the ADG Code, except where more stringent requirements apply under another relevant Standard or regulation.
