DR AS/NZS 1594:2024 Hot-rolled steel flat products

The objective of this document is to ensure that hot-rolled steel plate, floorplate, steel and strip, rolled on a continuous mill meets the needs of users in areas of dimensional tolerances and material requirements.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:

(a) Inclusion of requirements for type testing and production testing.
(b) Inclusion of inspections in Clause B.3.
(c) Inclusion of requirements for test certificates.
(d) Addition of labelling requirements to enable products to be traced to their corresponding test certificate.
(e) General alignment of this documents with the other 4 steel product Standards–AS/NZS 1163, AS/NZS 3678, AS/NZS 3679.1 and AS/NZS 3679.2.
(f) Change of grades from 8mm to 16 mm thickness.
(g) Addition of 450 tensile grade.
(h) Introduction of impact tested grades.
(i) Addition of requirement for elongation results for reporting for structural grade coil or plate, 6mm or greater, to be based on proportional elongation.

DR AS/NZS 2205.3.1:2024 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials, Method 3.1: Bend tests

The objective of this document is to specify a method for making transverse root, face and side bend tests on test specimens taken from butt welds, butt welds with cladding (subdivided into welds in clad plates and clad welds) and cladding without butt welds, in order to reveal imperfections on or near the surface of the test specimen which is under tension during bend testing and/or assess ductility. It also gives the dimensions of the test specimen.

This document is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 5173:2023, Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials — Bend tests.

DR AS/NZS ISO 14120:2024 Safety of machinery - Guards - General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards

The objective of this document is to specify general requirements for the design, construction, and selection of guards provided to protect persons from mechanical hazards.

This International Standard indicates other hazards that can influence the design and construction of guards.

This International Standard applies to guards for machinery which will be manufactured after it is published.

The requirements are applicable if fixed and movable guards are used. This International Standard does not cover interlocking devices. These are covered in ISO 14119.

This International Standard does not provide requirements for special systems relating specifically to mobility such as ROPS (rollover protective structures), FOPS (falling-object protective structures), and TOPS (tip over protective structures) or to the ability of machinery to lift loads.

This document is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 14120:2015, Safety of machinery – Guards - General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards.

DR AS/NZS ISO 5817:2024 Welding - Fusion-welded joints in steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys (beam welding excluded) - Quality levels for imperfections

This document is intended to be used as a reference in the drafting of application codes and/or other application standards. It contains a simplified selection of fusion weld imperfections based on the designations given in ISO 6520-1.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 5817:2014), which has been technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— editorial updates;
— actual throat thickness aA, used in Table 1, nos 1.3, 1.4, 1.16 and 3.2;
— figures for Table 1, nos 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.11, 1.14, 1.16, 1.19, 2.12, 2.13 and 4.1 changed or added;
— Table 1, no. 4.1: exclusion of several imperfections and change of acceptance criteria;
— Former Annex B deleted.

DR AS/NZS ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748.1:2024 Systems and software engineering — Life cycle management, Part 1: Guidelines for life cycle management

The objective of this document is to provide guidance for the life cycle management of systems and software, complementing the processes described in AS/NZS ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and AS ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207.

This document —

(a) addresses systems, concepts and life cycle concepts, models, stages, processes, process application, key points of view, adaptation and use in various domains and by various disciplines;
(b) establishes a common framework for describing life cycles, including their individual stages, for the management of projects that provide or acquire either products or services;
(c) defines the concept of a life cycle;
(d) supports the use of the life cycle processes within an organization or a project. Organizations and projects can use these life cycle concepts when acquiring and supplying either products or services;
(e) provides guidance on adapting a life cycle model and the content associated with a life cycle or a part of a life cycle;
(f) describes the relationship between life cycles and their use in applying the processes in AS/NZS ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 (systems aspects) and AS ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207 (software systems aspects);
(g) shows the relationships of life cycle concepts to the hardware, human, services, process, procedure, facility and naturally occurring entity aspects of projects; and
(h) describes how its concepts relate to detailed process standards, for example, in the areas of measurement, project management, risk management and model-based systems and software engineering.

This document is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO/IEC IEEE 24748‑1:2024 Systems and software engineering — Life cycle management — Part 1: Guidelines for life cycle management.
