The Western Australia guide to standards and tolerances 2019 (the Guide) has been developed for use by builders and building owners as a convenient reference for acceptable standards of workmanship in residential building construction; it is intended to address areas that are not prescribed under legislation or under a home building contract.

AS 4421:2023 specifies the minimum requirements for the operation and management of an organization providing protective security services.

As a subcontractor, it is your responsibility to fully understand your rights and obligations in the relationship with your head contractor under contract law, before you enter into any subcontracting arrangement.

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 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.

The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers and others seeking to determine certain performance and size characteristics of a textile floor covering with suitable methods for obtaining this information.

Identical adoption of ISO 1765:1986, this standard specifies a basic method for the determination of the thickness of machine-made textile floor coverings. Where areas of different thickness or construction exist, these should be tested separately if possible.

This Standard specifies a method for the assessment of the burning behaviour often superficial of textile floor coverings in a horizontal position when exposed to a small source of ignition under controlled laboratory conditions. The method specified in this Standard is applicable to all types of textile floor coverings whatever their construction or their fibre composition. The method may also be applicable to unfinished material. In this case, the result does not indicate the behaviour of the material in the condition in which it is used.
