Scope

This Standard specifies the requirements for, and gives guidance on, the installation of pressure equipment (boilers, pressure vessels and pressure piping), control, and safety equipment constructed in accordance with AS/NZS 1200 and Standards referenced therein, together with other relevant Standards.
NOTES:
1 No requirements can be written in sufficient detail to cover all aspects of installation for the great variety of pressure equipment. Each installer should ensure that the quality of the installation is in accordance with all applicable requirements and is adequate for continued safe performance of the equipment. This may require further work to be undertaken and the seeking of expert advice.
2 ‘Duty of care’ is now prescribed on employers and employees regardless of regulation or standards. This Standard does not supersede ‘duty of care’.
3 Users of this Standard are reminded that it has no legal authority in its own right, but may acquire legal standing if adopted by government or any other authority having jurisdiction, or if specified as part of a commercial contract.
