AS 3610.1:2018 Formwork for concrete, Part 1: Specifications
Standards Australia
Supersedes: AS 3610 Supp1-1995 Formwork for concrete, Part 1: Specifications
Draft Designation: DR AS 3610.1:2017This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee BD-043, Formwork, to supersede, in part, AS 3610.1—2010, Formwork for concrete, Part 1: Documentation and surface finish.
The objective of this Standard is to set out requirements for the specification and documentation of architectural, structural and construction information necessary for formwork design and construction. This Standard also sets out requirements for documentation of formwork designs and information on proprietary formwork. It also sets out the requirements for the assessment and evaluation of completed surface quality and repairs.
The full review of AS 3610 series is in progress and therefore it was considered appropriate to issue the Standard in two Parts:
(a) AS 3610.1, Formwork for concrete, Part 1: Formwork specification (this Standard), focuses on surface finish and covers various types of documentation applicable to formwork. This Part was revised and published in 2010. This latest revision includes relevant commentary clauses from AS 3610 Supplement 2—1996 Formwork for concrete—Commentary
(b) AS 3610.2, will cover aspects of formwork and falsework design, construction and testing, including Section 4 of AS 3610.1—2010.
NOTE: At the time of publication, this Standard is still under review.
AS 3610.2, AS 3610—1995 and AS 3610.1 will coexist. Sections 2, 3 and 5 in this Standard (AS 3610.1) supersede Sections 2 and 3, as well as Clauses 4.7 and 5.6 of AS 3610—1995. Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes to tables are deemed to be requirements of this Standard.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
