[Current]Termite management, Part 3: Assessment criteria for termite management systems
Specifies the criteria for assessing the effectiveness of termite management systems intended for use in buildings and structures as required by AS 3660.1 or AS 3660.2. It also outlines procedures to assess the ability of a system and its components to manage termite activity in and around buildings and structures.
