AS 1725.1:2010 PDF Download

AS 1725.1:2010 is a standard that outlines the general requirements for chain link fabric security fencing and gates. The standard provides a range of options and combinations for fence height, fabric, wire coatings, wire service duty, pipe grades, and types of security fencing design options. These options depend on the agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer to suit the specific site security requirements.

It is important for purchasers to carefully consider and select their preferences for each component of the security fencing. The standard also includes notes stating that these fencing solutions are not considered structures as defined in AS 4100 and, therefore, are not intended to comply with AS 1170, AS 4100, and AS/NZS 4600. However, in cases where there are high wind loading or the fencing is used for crowd control and safety barriers that may pose a risk to public safety, the specifier is required to comply with AS 1170, AS 4100, and AS/NZS 4600.

Appendix A of the standard provides purchasing guidelines to assist buyers in establishing the most suitable security fencing requirements for their specific site applications.
