Specifies site wind speed classes for determining design wind speeds and wind loads for NCC Class 1 and 10 buildings within the geometric limits given in Clause 1.2; the classes are for use in the design of housing and for design, manufacturing and specifying of building products and systems used for housing.

Sets out requirements for materials, construction, installation and glazing for external windows, sliding and swinging glazed doors, including French and bi-fold doors, adjustable louvres, shopfronts and window walls with one-piece framing elements.

AS/NZS 3019 sets out the requirements for periodic assessment of existing electrical installations which are connected to a low voltage a.c. supply system (exceeding 50 V a.c. but not exceeding 1 000 V a.c.). Inspection and/or testing is intended, as far as reasonably practicable, to determine whether the installation and all its constituent equipment is in a safe condition for continued use.

Outlines principles, guidelines and procedures for safe work on or near low-voltage and extra-low voltage electrical installations and equipment; provides a minimum set of procedures, safety requirements and recommendations to manage the hazards associated with electricity, specifically arc blast, arc flash, electric shock, and electrocution.

Specifies the design requirements for new building work, as required by the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Disability (Access to Premises—Buildings) Standards (Premises Standards), to provide access for people with disabilities.

Specifies requirements for the design, installation, maintenance and testing of lightning protection on common structures, and for electrical and electronic systems within those structures for the protection of people and property from the hazards of lightning.

Specifies requirements for the construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas in order to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat, flame contact and combinations of the three attack forms.

Provides users of AS 1288-2006 with tables for minimum glass thicknesses calculated for stress and deflection limit state wind pressures.
