Silicosis is a lung disease caused by breathing in respirable crystalline silica which is a common mineral found in sand, concrete, quartz and other types of rock.

Provides practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to manage risks associated with respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure in construction work; manufacturing of construction elements.

Provides advice on the application of workplace exposure standards for airborne contaminants (exposure standards) in the workplace.

Provides guidance through the lifecycle of an engineered stone product including fabrication, installation, maintenance, removal and disposal.

Sets out requirements and safety principles relating to the design, installation, and operation of industrial appliances that involve the combustion of gas or liquid fuel, or other fuel in air suspension, or the generation of combustible vapours in such appliances.

This Standard specifies a test method for determining the particulate emission factor from batch-fed domestic solid fuel burning appliances and the associated particulate emission acceptance criteria.

Provides guidance through the lifecycle of an engineered stone product including fabrication, installation, maintenance, removal and disposal.

This Standard specifies a method for the determination of the thickness loss of textile floor coverings under dynamic loading. It is applicable to all types of textile floor coverings with a surface that is level in height and construction. It does not apply to other textile floor coverings unless the areas of different thickness or construction can be tested separately.

This Standard describes a method for determining the strength of the bond between the backing components of a textile floor covering which can be peeled apart. This method is applicable to tufted carpets which have primary and secondary backing materials forming a bonded composite substrate.

This Standard specifies a method for the determination of the thickness of pile above the substrate of a textile floor covering. It is applicable to all textile floor coverings with pile capable of being shorn from the substrate, but not to textile floor coverings of varying pile thickness or density, unless the areas can be measured separately.
