Changes
The Storage and Handling of Liquefied Chlorine Gas standard AS2927 has recently undergone a revision by Standards Australia in consultation with industry users of chlorine, emergency services and regulators. This standard was released on the 20th of December 2019.
Impacts
The previous revision of this standard was reviewed and released in 2001. Since that time there have been a number of changes to equipment available and used in chlorine installations, and other changes in industry relevant to the operation of chlorine installations. The updated standard incorporates these changes to ensure ongoing relevance and improved safe handling of chlorine gas.
Some of the changes include:
- How separation distances are calculated,
- Mandatory safety equipment,
- Storage and handling requirements,
- Changes for public swimming pools.
