AS 4606:2012 PDF Download

AS 4606:2012 is a standard that outlines the necessary safety requirements for conveyor belting and conveyor accessories to be classified as Grade S, which stands for fire resistant and antistatic properties. The purpose of this standard is to ensure the safe operation of conveyor systems in environments where there is a risk of fire and the generation of static electricity.

The standard establishes the minimum criteria that conveyor belting and accessories must meet in order to be considered Grade S. It focuses on the prevention of fire and the reduction of static electricity build-up, both of which are potential hazards in conveyor systems. By complying with this standard, manufacturers can ensure that their products provide a higher level of safety in these specific aspects.

It is important to note that this standard only covers Grade S requirements. For other properties and grades of conveyor belting, reference should be made to AS 1332 and AS 1333. This indicates that AS 4606:2012 is specifically tailored to Grade S belting and accessories, while other standards address different aspects and grades of conveyor belting.
