Specifies requirements additional to those in AS 1418.1 covering builders hoists and associated equipment. Types included are materials hoists, concrete skip hoists and personnel and materials hoists as defined in AS 2549. Application, classification, loads, load combinations, design, construction, marking and testing are covered. Appendices provide information that should be supplied with tender for supply of a hoist and hazards which should be considered by the designer when designing the hoist.

Sets out minimum requirements for the materials, plant and equipment used in the supply of concrete; the production and, if applicable, the delivery of concrete in the plastic state; specifying, sampling, testing and compliance with specified properties of plastic and hardened concrete; and the uniformity of mixing.

Specifies the construction, dimensions and test requirements for single- and multicore cables insulated with polymeric materials intended for use at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 (1.2) kV. It does not apply to polymeric insulated cables for special installations and service conditions or for which there are separate Australian/New Zealand Standards.

Specifies the requirements for the installation of domestic type water heaters using potable water. It includes aspects of the installation from, and including, the valves on the cold water inlet to any cistern or water heater and the downstream fixtures and fittings.

Specifies the requirements for hot-dip galvanized bolts and step bolts with ISO metric coarse pitch series threads for normal and low temperature applications in tower construction, and associated nuts and washers.

Outlines measures and practices to assist those industries which may have risks associated with the presence of combustible dusts as part of their processes; it also assists such industries in minimizing the risk of injury, death or loss of property to fire and/or explosion through the application of good design and management principles and practices in the construction, operation and maintenance of manufacturing and processing plants and associated transportation and storage systems.

Recommends good practice for, and sets out the process by which, radiocommunications sites should be planned, sited, constructed and operated to meet the communications objectives of those facilities. It particularly addresses the sharing of radiocommunications sites and interference problems which could arise. It is intended to provide information to Federal, State and local government authorities, facilities planners, site planners, organizations and members of the public on the effects that existing or planned developments could be expected to have on the operation of such facilities, and vice versa.
