Australian Standard
Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest ed ition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new editions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head office of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Notification of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

PREFACE
(b) The former test house facility that was used for testing refrigerated farm milk tanks is
no longer available in Australia and in any case, would not have been suitable for testing
larger installations with precooling equipment. The formal test protocol, set out in
Appendix A of the 1988 edition has therefore been deleted. In its place, the required
achievement of the cooling/refrigeration performance be as specified in this Standard,
and this conformance be marked by the manufacturer on the storage vessel.
The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendix to which it applies. An ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.

1 The Standard does not include all the electrical safety requirements with which the electrical
equipment incorporated in the bulk milk cooling and storage systems on farms should comply;
therefore, reference should be made to relevant Standards Australia Approval and Test
Specifications.
