The revised and updated Australian Standard (AS3996) that deals with Access Covers<\/a> & Grates<\/a> was published on Friday.<\/p>\n

The process of updating an Australian Standard is not a simple one.\u00a0 There is a committee (CE-029) that is comprised of a number of relevant industry bodies (listed below) who prepares the standard that is then approved on behalf of the Council of Standards Australia.\u00a0 The process also allows for public comment through the issue of a draft.<\/p>\n

Committee CE029 is made up of expert individuals representing the following;<\/p>\n

Association of Hydraulic Services Consultants Australia
\nAustralian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
\nAustralian Foundry Institute
\nAustralian Industry Group
\nAustralian Institute of Building Surveyors
\nAustroads
\nCentral Queensland University
\nComposites Australia
\nEngineers Australia
\nGrates and Access Covers Alliance (GACA)
\nInstitute of Public Works Engineering Australasia
\nWater Services Association of Australia<\/p>\n

Mascot Engineering would like to acknowledge and thank the above for their time and commitment in bringing AS3996:2019 together and we look forward to continuing the work, in particular with the Grates and Access Covers Alliance (GACA) in educating the broader industry of the need for product conformance and importance of the standard in specifications.<\/p>\n

There will be a transitional period as products and manufacturers go from AS3996:2006 to the revised 2019 version of AS3996<\/a>.\u00a0 With products already in stock locally and the need for some revision to designs, the industry generally feels that a transition of 12 to 18 months from publication is not unreasonable. \u00a0Given this, we would not expect to see new products manufactured to AS3996:2006 going into the market in late 2020.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to contact us if you would like more information on AS3996-2019 or the transition and acceptance of 2006 version of products.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
