Provides users and purchasers of occupational protective footwear with recommended practices for the selection care and use of protective footwear in a wide range of primary, secondary and construction industries. Guidance for footwear care, fitting and foot protection programs is provided.

Specifies product requirements for sawn and milled hardwood products. Moisture content, profiles, tolerances and grades are covered. Requirements are also given for glued laminating, finger jointing and end-matching. Guidance is given on information to be supplied when ordering.

This Standard sets out a method to determine the proportion of flat particles, elongated particles and, flat and elongated particles found in those fractions of a coarse aggregate retained on a 9.50 mm test sieve, using a proportional calliper.

This Standard sets out a method for an approximate determination of the presence of organic materials, other than sugar, present in fine aggregate.

Sets out method for the determination of particle size distribution in coarse and fine aggregates by sieving. The amount passing a 75 μm sieve may be determined using this method when samples are washed over a 75 μm sieve. If the percentage of material passing a 75 μm sieve is specified, the procedures detailed in Clause 6.6 of this method or in AS 1141.12 apply. KEYWORDS: Aggregates; Particle; Size; Sieving.

AS 1141.30.1 sets out the method for determining a quality classification of coarse aggregate by visual comparison with pre-prepared reference specimens.

This Standard sets out the method for the determination of the degradation factor of coarse aggregates. The test categorizes the fines produced by self-abrasion in the presence of water.

This Standard sets out a method for determining the flakiness index of an aggregate. The Method applies to aggregates having a nominal size not greater than 63.0 mm and having at least 80% by mass retained on a 4.75 mm sieve. The Method makes reference to a particle size distribution procedure which is required for determination of flakiness index.

This Standard sets out the method for determining indirectly the unconfined cohesion of compacted pavement materials. The method is applicable to that fraction of the material passing a 19.0 mm test sieve.

This Standard sets out the method for testing aggregates to determine the loss of mass due to disintegration when exposed to sodium sulfate solutions over repeated cycles of wetting and drying
