Keeping Standards up-to-date

Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and
new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves
they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which
may have been published since the Standard was purchased.
Detailed information about Standards can be found by visiting the Standards Web
Shop at www.standards.com.au and looking up the relevant Standard in the on-line
catalogue.
Alternatively, the printed Catalogue provides information current at 1 January each
year, and the monthly magazine, The Global Standard, has a full listing of revisions
and amendments published each month.
Australian StandardsTM and other products and services developed by Standards
Australia are published and distributed under contract by SAI Global, which
operates the Standards Web Shop.
We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially
encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or
ambiguities. Contact us via email at mail@standards.org.au, or write to the Chief
Executive, Standards Australia International Ltd, GPO Box 5420, Sydney, NSW
2001.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 02472.

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-013, Industrial Fans, to
supersede AS 2936—1987, SAA Fan Test Code. It is identical to, and reproduced from
ISO 5801:1997, Industrial fans—Performance testing using standardized airways.
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.
As this Standard is reproduced from an internal Standard, the following applies:
(a) Its number appears on the cover and title page while the International Standard number appears
only on the cover.
(b) In the source text ‘this International Standard’ should read ‘this Australian Standard’.
