Local Standards Compliance

AS/NZS:3666 Microbial Control Standards

This standard covers various aspects of the design, installation, commissioning, cleaning, operation and maintenance of air conditioning systems including cooling water systems. All aspects of the standard are applicable for evaporative equipment. It is imperative that the equipment you buy is designed or modified to meet local standards. Beware that most imported product does not comply which may leave designers, contractors and owners vulnerable to risk of prosecution in the case of micro-biological outbreak.

AS/NZS:4024 Safety of Machinery Standards

This standard provides designers, manufacturers, contractors and owner/operators of machinery with requirements to reduce the risks of working with, or near, machinery. In particular, this standard is applicable to ingress of equipment via access and guarding requirements. Beware that most imported product does not comply which may leave designers, contractors and owners vulnerable to risk of prosecution in the case of accident.

AS/NZS:1657 Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders

This standard identifies the minimum requirements for fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders - Design, construction and installation. It is important to to understand that imported equipment seldom meets this standard which is dimensionally product and site specific. The absence of compliant access may impede inspection, monitoring and maintenance of equipment, while non-compliant access may impede or impact site safety.

AS/NZS MEPS Standard Compliance

Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) standards specify the minimum level of energy performance that electrical equipment (products) must meet or exceed before they can be offered for sale or used for commercial purposes in Australia.
