AS (Australian Standard)
Australian Standards (AS) are guidelines and specifications developed to ensure the quality, safety, and efficiency of various products, services, and processes in Australia. They are created through a collaborative effort involving industry experts, government bodies, and consumer representatives. These standards cover a wide range of areas, including construction, electrical safety, and environmental management. Compliance with AS helps businesses meet legal requirements, enhance consumer confidence, and improve overall performance. While adherence to these standards is often voluntary, they can be mandatory in certain situations, leading to better outcomes for both consumers and industries.
