Sets out minimum requirements for the design, detailing and construction of simply supported composite beams composed of a steel beam interconnected to a concrete slab by shear connectors, including applications in which the slab incorporates profiled steel sheeting.

Specifies the assumptions to be used in calculating the system and total R-values of building constructions, which include IR reflective or IR non-reflective airspaces, for the purposes of designing building components to be used in thermal insulation systems.

Specifies the characteristics, methods of control and test, and acceptance for fibre-cement flat sheets; covers sheets intended for external applications such as cladding facades, curtain walls, soffits, lost casing, and the like, and sheets intended for internal use such as partitions, floors, ceilings, and the like, with a wide range of properties appropriate to the type of application.

Sets out to classify membranes based on elastic properties, which can then be used to give guidance on the type of detailing for a specific membrane referred to in AS 3740.

Adopts ISO 13253:2011 to establish test methods for determining the capacity and efficiency ratings of ducted, air-cooled airconditioners and ducted air-to-air heat pumps; residential, commercial and industrial single-package and split-system airconditioners and heat pumps are included.

Describes a single test method for grading building materials on the basis of ignition tendency, flame spread, heat development and tendency to produce smoke.

Specifies requirements for the design of aluminium alloy load-carrying members using the allowable stress design criteria (ASD).

AS/NZS 1546.2 aims to: 1. Provide a set of performance statements that form a base against which any waterless composting toilet, conventional or innovative, may be assessed. 2. Provide manufacturers of waterless composting toilets with a performance evaluation test that will confirm the conditions under which it will function best (this will enable certification bodies to check that a product conforms to the Standard). 3. Ensure that the operation and maintenance of a waterless composting toilet is done in a safe manner that meets basic health requirements given that it involves the removal of composted or partially composted material.

This Standard specifies the requirements for design, selection, installation, commissioning and maintenance of residential heating and cooling climate control systems.

Specifies a simple means of referring to common refrigerants instead of using the chemical name, formula, or trade name. It also establishes a uniform system to be used in assigning the proper reference number and classification to refrigerants; the system for refrigerant classification is defined and physical data of common refrigerants listed.
