AS 1379 Supp 1:2008 (R2018) PDF Download

The AS 1379 Supp 1:2008 (R2018) standard is specifically designed for use in the specification and supply of all types of concrete, regardless of its inclusion in the scope and application of AS 3600. The standard does not cover mortars or grouts unless they contain coarse aggregates, as the requirements for these materials are specified in separate standards such as AS 3700 and AS 2701.

While the standard was developed with the premix concrete industry in mind, it is also applicable to other manufacturers of concrete products. However, it is important to note that this standard does not take precedence over existing Australian Standards for the manufacture of specific concrete products.

The main purpose of AS 1379 Supp 1:2008 (R2018) is to provide a comprehensive and independent specification and supply standard for concrete, completing the independence of AS 1379 from AS 3600. Previously, concrete relied on both AS 1379 and AS 3600 to some extent, but now AS 1379 has become a stand-alone document for the specification and supply of concrete.
