Sets out the Australian and New Zealand requirements to which pressure equipment (boilers, pressure vessels and pressure piping) is to be designed, manufactured, tested, inspected, supplied, installed, commissioned, operated, maintained, repaired, altered and disposed of. Specifies requirements which are common to Australian and New Zealand pressure equipment Standards. Appendices include pressure equipment covered by this Standard, enquiries, materials, a list of Australian and New Zealand regulatory authorities, definitions, the basis of design strength and New Zealand loading requirements.

This Standard, together with Standards referenced in Figure G1, sets out the Australian and New Zealand requirements to which pressure equipment (boilers, pressure vessels and pressure piping) shall be designed, manufactured, tested, inspected, supplied, installed, commissioned, operated, maintained, repaired, altered and disposed of. This Standard also specifies requirements which are common to Australian and New Zealand pressure equipment Standards.PURPOSE AND
