Australian Standard - AS 2885

The overarching Standard that applies to the pipeline industry in Australia is AS 2885. This standard was developed by a working group from both industry and government.

Standards Australia is the peak non-government development body operating in Australia and is responsible for assisting in the development and maintenance of industry standards, such as AS 2885.

The AS 2885 relates to design, construction, testing, operations and maintenance of gas and petroleum pipelines that operate at pressures in excess of 1050kpa. The many other standards used by the pipeline industry are referred to in AS 2885 as the principal document. All relevant information can be accessed from the Standards Australia website.
