In this Standard where the word ‘shall? is used, a mandatory requirement is implied; where the word ‘should’ is used, a recommendation is implied. Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes to tables are deemed to be requirements of this Standard. ‘The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance. This document includes commentary on some of the clauses of the Standard. The commentary directly follows the relevant clause, is designated by ‘C’ preceding the clause number and is printed in italics in a box. The commentary is for information and guidance and does not form part of the Standard.‘Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 28 Apr 2016 (Document currency not guaranteed when printed) 3 AS 3850.1:2015 CONTENTS Page SECTION 1 SCOPE AND GENERAL. 1.1 SCOPE. 4 1.2 APPLICATION son 7" 13 NORMATIVE REFEREN : ood 14 DEFINITIONS... a" a8 15 NOTATION... 10 SECTION 2.
