This Standard sets out requirements and recommendations for the safe storage and handling
of oxidizing agents that meet the Division 5.1 classification criteria of the ADG Code.
This Standard also applies to other dangerous goods that are assigned a Division 5.1
Subsidiary Risk by the ADG Code, except where they are of Class 2, or where more
stringent requirements apply under another relevant Australian Standard or applicable
regulation.
This Standard provides safety requirements for storage areas, operating procedures,
emergency planning and fire protection for stores in which oxidizing agents are kept. It
provides technical guidance to assist in the storage and handling of oxidizing agents in
accordance with the risk management requirements of NOHSC:1015 and regulations
drawing on that document.
