New Revision of AS 4024.1 Series of Machinery Safety Standards


In order to keep Australian industry in-line with international practices, the AS 4024.1 series of machinery safety standards has been revised. The new parts are now available on the SAI Global website www.saiglobal.com.

Currently the parts are available individually because the application guide (part 1100) is yet to be released. It is expected that the AS 4024.1 series (collection of all AS 4024.1 parts) will become available once the application guide is finalised. Ordering the complete series is the recommended approach, as the AS 4024.1 parts should always be used together.

Below is a table that explains what parts will be included in the new series, this table indicates what international standard, each part is adopted from. The table also indicates which parts have been withdrawn and which parts are new.

Some major pointers on the new series:

  • The parts are now direct text adoptions of the international standards. This means all references in the parts refer to international standard numbers. This makes the below table very useful as the user must be familiar with the adopted international standard for each part to use the AS 4024.1 series.
  • The Application Guide, 1100 is a new part. This will be very useful in explaining to users where to find relevant information and how to use the complete series 
  • Part 1303 is a new part. This part provides practical examples of risk estimation models.Part 1503 is a new part. This part designs safety control systems to Performance Levels (PL). 
  • Part 1602 is the revised interlock guard part. This part is significantly different to the previous version and allows the user to design interlocking systems to the new PL method.

AS 4024 information sessions will be scheduled later in the year once the new AS 4024.1 series is complete. For more information, send Craig an email on cimrie@nhp.com.au. 

All standards in the table below, less the highlighted fields, are the expected parts of the new AS 4024.1 series once the application guide (1100) is complete.
