AS/NZS IEC 60079.10.1:2022 adopts IEC 60079 10 1:2020, which specify requirements for the classification of areas where flammable gas or vapour hazards may arise and may then be used as a basis to support the proper design, construction, operation and maintenance of equipment for use in hazardous areas.

The standards in this set provide gasfitters with essential information relating to gas installations, including the design, installation, and commissioning of commercial, industrial, and domestic gas appliances, as well as the servicing of Type A gas appliances. The set includes both parts of AS/NZS 5601, a key standard for gas installations in Australia and New Zealand. It also includes standards relating to the assessment of explosive atmospheres, especially where gas or vapour hazards may arise, including new information relating to hydrogen.
