1.1 SCOPE This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the materials, design,
manufacture, testing, inspection, certification and despatch of fired and unfired pressure
vessels constructed in ferrous or non-ferrous metals by welding, brazing, casting, forging,
or cladding and lining and includes the application of non-integral fittings required for
safe and proper functioning of pressure vessels. This Standard also specifies requirements
for non-metallic vessels and metallic vessels with non-metallic linings.
For detailed requirements for metallic materials, manufacture and testing, reference should be made to the relevant material Standards, and to AS 4458, AS/NZS 3992 and AS 4037.
The requirements of this Standard have been formulated on the basis that the required
examinations and inspection during manufacture are performed and that appropriate
reasonable care is taken of the vessels during subsequent stages in the life of vessels
including appropriate inspection for deterioration.
