This standard specifies the following: (a) In Australia, the fundamental structure and configuration of generic cabling requirements within the types of premises defined by the other parts of the AS/NZS 11801 series. (b) In New Zealand, the fundamental structure and configuration of generic cabling requirements within the types of premises defined by the other parts of the ISO/IEC 11801 series. (c) Channel transmission and environmental performance requirements. (d) Link performance requirements. (e) In Australia, backbone cabling reference implementations in support of the parts of the AS/NZS 11801 series; (f) In New Zealand, backbone cabling reference implementations in support of the parts of the ISO/IEC 11801 series; (g) component performance requirements, referring to available international Standards for components and test methods where appropriate; (h) In Australia, test procedures to verify conformance to the cabling transmission performance requirements of the AS/NZS 11801 series. (i) In New Zealand, test procedures to verify conformance to the cabling transmission performance requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801 series. This standard is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC 11801-1:2017 Information Technology - Generic cabling for customer premises - Part 1: General requirements.

Gas appliances - Part 1.11: Small gas engine driven appliances
Please note that when submitting comments on draft Joint standards, these must be submitted to Standards Australia. To do this, please use the following link— https://hub.standards.org.au/hub/public/listOpenCommentingPublication.action This standard provides particular requirements for small gas fuelled spark ignition reciprocating internal combustion engine driven appliances that apply in addition to or in place of the general requirements for gas appliances set out in AS/NZS 5263.0:2017 Gas appliances, Part 0: General requirements. Together, these Standards constitute a means of conformance with AS 3645:2017 Essential requirements for gas equipment. The engines used in these appliances may be bi-fuel engines; that is, they can operate on alternate gas fuels. The objective of this Part 1.11 is to provide manufacturers, designers, regulatory authorities, conformity assessment bodies and similar organizations with uniform minimum requirements for the safety, performance and use of small gas fuelled spark ignition reciprocating internal combustion engines in gas appliances. This Part 1.11 of AS/NZS 5263 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of Part 0. The numbering of Clauses in this Part 1.11 is consistent with the numbering in Part 0 for related requirements. This standard should not be regarded as a design specification or instruction manual. Consideration has been given to — (i) continuity of satisfactory operation; (ii) the prevention of fire hazards and explosions; (iii) the prevention of injury to persons or property; (iv) gas rules and regulations now in force; and (v) Relevant International Standards. AS/NZS 5601 series of standards provides essential requirements, performance-based requirements and means of conformance for gas installations. Any reference to “AS/NZS 5601” in the AS/NZS 5263 series of standards should be considered as reference to the appropriate part of the AS/NZS 5601 series of standards (i.e. AS/NZS 5601.1 or AS/NZS 5601.2).
