This Standard adopts ISO 22846-1:2003, which gives the fundamental principles for the use of rope-access methods for work at height; intended for use by employers, employees and self-employed persons who use rope-access methods, by those commissioning rope-access work and by rope-access associations.

This Standard adopts ISO 22846-2:2012, which provides recommendations and guidance on the use of rope access methods for work at height and expands on the fundamental principles given in AS/NZS ISO 22846.1, in conjunction with which it is intended to be used; intended for use by employers, employees and self-employed persons who use rope access methods, by those commissioning rope access work and by rope access associations.

Specifies requirements and sets out recommendations for the selection, safe use and maintenance of industrial fall-arrest systems and devices based on the use of safety harnesses, horizontal life lines and rails, fall-arrest devices, and associated lanyards, connectors, anchorages and fittings.

Provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in building can be converted into a single number characterizing the acoustical performance; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-1:1996.

Recommends design criteria for conditions affecting the acoustic environment within building interiors to ensure a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for the occupants and the users.

Adopts ISO 140-7:1998 with national modifications to specify field methods for the measuring the impact sound insulation properties of building floors by using a standard tapping machine; this method is applicable bare floors and also to floor with coverings.
