Scope

This Standard sets out requirements and recommendations for the safe storage and handling of toxic substances that-

(a) in Australia, are classified as Class 6.1 in the ADG Code; and
(b) in New Zealand, meet the Class 6.1 classification criteria of the IMDG Code or Schedules 1-4 of the New Zealand Toxic Substances Regulations 1983.

The Standard also applies to other dangerous goods that are assigned a Class 6.1 subsidiary risk by the ADG Code/IMDG Code, except where they are of Class 2, or where more stringent requirements apply under another relevant Standard or applicable regulation.

This Standard applies in locations that are generally industrial, commercial or rural in nature, including laboratories where the provisions of this Standard are additional to those of AS 2243.10. Where there is conflict between the requirements of this Standard and AS 2243.10, this Standard shall take precedence.

This Standard does not apply to-
(i) the transport on land of toxic substances, which is covered by the ADG
