AS 1684-2006 Standard and Amendments
AS 1684 is a four-part Australian Standard covering design criteria, building practices, tie-downs, bracing and span tables for timber framing members. By complying with this Standard, users are ‘deemed to satisfy’ the requirements of the Building Code of Australia. Amendments to AS 1684 (in "Search" type: AS1684.1, AS1684.2, AS1684.3 or AS1684.4) prepared by the Standards Australia Technical Committee have recently been completed, based on feedback from users. The Timber Framing Code now covers a wider range of acceptable practices with a greater number of technical explanations included in the latest amendments.
