AS 2809.4:2017 PDF

Specifies requirements for the design and construction of tankers for the transport of cargo which is normally liquid, and which is toxic or corrosive. To be used in conjunction with AS 2809.1 (which applies to all road tank vehicles).

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-057, Road Tankers for Hazardous Liquids and Gases, to supersede AS 2809.4—2001. It is complementary to AS 2809.1—1999, Road tank vehicles for dangerous goods, Part 1: General requirements, and provides requirements that are specifically applicable to road tankers for the transport of liquids that are toxic or corrosive or both.

Please note that the scope of this revision was limited; a further revision of the full AS 2809 series, including this Standard, has been approved by Standards Australia and is currently underway.

This Standard is Part 4 of the AS 2809 series, which comprises six Parts. Part 1 specifies general requirements for all road tank vehicles and Parts 2 to 6 provide specific requirements applicable to particular road tank vehicles.
