Sets out a classification scheme for wiring systems according to their resistance to the hazards of fire and mechanical damage.

Specifies the criteria for the selection of portable fire extinguishers and the requirements for their application, location and distribution.

Sets out requirements for the classification of a site and the design and construction of a footing system for a single dwelling house, town house or the like which may be detached or separated by a party wall or common wall but not situated vertically above or below another dwelling.

Synopsis: AS 3850.3 provides requirements for planning, construction, design, casting, transportation, erection and incorporation into the structure of prefabricated concrete elements in civil, infrastructure and non-building construction

Provides a guide for building owners and others involved in the management of subterranean termites within and around existing buildings and structures.

Provides the procedure for structural design; includes design procedures, reference to design actions (other parts of the series), combinations of actions, detailing for robustness, methods of analysis and methods for confirmation of a limit states design; also covers the use of special studies and experimental testing and, for New Zealand, criteria for selection of annual probability of exceedance.

Specifies basic requirements for the bracing, connection and installation of nailplated timber roof trusses. Requirements are given for supporting structures, roof truss installation, roof bracing, truss connection and overhangs.

Provides design values of snow and ice actions for use in structural design; it is intended to be used in conjunction with AS/NZS 1170.0, which gives the procedure for structural design; snow regions are defined and ground snow loads are provided for a range of annual probabilities of exceedance; other factors cover the environment around the structure, the geometry of the structure and the effect of winds on snow distribution.

Specifies the criteria for assessing the effectiveness of termite management systems intended for use in buildings and structures as required by AS 3660.1 or AS 3660.2; also outlines procedures to assess the ability of a system and its components to manage termite activity in and around buildings and structures.

Sets out requirements for the design and construction of subterranean termite management systems for new buildings and new building work.
