Specifies a spectrophotometric method for the determination of the phosphorus content of iron and steel. The method is applicable to the determination of phosphorus contents between 0.005 percent and 2.0 percent, provided that the following elements are not present in amounts greater than that specified: niobium 1 percent, tantalum 1 percent, titanium 2 percent, tungsten 11 percent, zirconium 1 percent.

Specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of portable reinforced plastic ladders rated for industrial or domestic use. It applies to single, extension, multipurpose, step and trestle ladders representing a combination of these types. A complete range of the test methods are included as appendices. Ladder accessories such as ladder-levellers, stabilizers, stand-off devices, ladder jacks and straps are not covered.

This Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction, performance and testing of emergency luminaires and exit signs. It applies both to emergency luminaires and exit signs that are centrally supplied, and to emergency luminaires and exit signs of the selfcontained type.

​Specifies sample preparation and test method procedure to determine the mercury content in fluorescent lamps.

This Standard deals with the safety of electric thermal-storage room heaters for household and similar purposes that are intended to heat the room in which they are located, their rated voltage being not more than 250 volt for single-phase appliances and 480 volt for other appliances

Incorporates changes adopted in the revision of AS 1801-1981, mostly related to the specification of three different types of occupational protective helmet. Includes new Appendix, summarizing optional or additional requirements that may be requested by the purchaser.

Specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of copper content between 0.004 percent and 0.50 percent in steel. This Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 4943:1985.

Specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of vanadium content between 0.005 percent and 1.0 percent in steel. This Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 9647:1989.

Specifies a spectrophotometric method for the determination of cobalt content up to 12 percent in all grades of iron and steel containing less than 10.0 percent copper. The sample is dissolved in acid and nitroso-R-salt added. This forms a red-brown chromophore which is measured spectrophotometrically at 580 nm.

The objective of this Standard is to set out the requirements for amorphous silica for use as a cementitious material in concrete, mortar and related applications.
