Supersedes: AS/NZS 1576.6:2000 Scaffolding, Part 6: Metal tube-and-coupler scaffolding - Deemed to conform to AS/NZS 1576.1
Draft Designation: DR AS 1576.6:2019After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New Zealand Standard.
The objective of this Standard is to provide tabulated geometrical limits and guidance which, when applied to tube and coupler installations, would ensure conformance to requirements of AS/NZS 1576.1.
This edition includes the following technical changes from the previous edition:
(a) The height of scaffolding that is covered, as specified by the Scope, has been reduced from 33 m to 30 m top working platform height.
(b) The requirements for both facade and birdcage scaffolds have been revised.
