Who are Standards Australia
Standards Australia is the nation’s peak non-government, not-for-profit standards organisation. For the fuel and oil industry they provide standards for the acceptable manufacture of tanks and products that are used for the storage, measurement, function and maintenance of oil products.
It is important to know that although Standards Australia develop standards, they are not responsible for enforcing, regulating or certifying compliance with those standards.
