15  References to standards
 (1) In these Regulations, a reference consisting of the words 'Australian Standard' or the letters 'AS' followed in either case by a number or a number accompanied by a reference to a calendar year is a reference to the standard so numbered published by or on behalf of Standards Australia.
 (2) In these Regulations, a reference consisting of the expression 'Australian/New Zealand Standard' or 'AS/NZS' followed in either case by a number or a number accompanied by a reference to a calendar year is a reference to the standard so numbered published jointly by or on behalf of Standards Australia and the Standards Council of New Zealand.
Note: A person is only required to comply with an Australian Standard or Australian/New Zealand Standard that is applied, adopted or incorporated by, or otherwise referred to in, a regulation to the extent the regulation provides, whether expressly or by necessary implication.
 For example, in regulation 5, definition boiler, there is an exception in subparagraph (e)(iii). The definition does not require a person to comply with AS 2593:2021, but equipment must be certified in compliance with AS 2593:2021 in order to fall within that particular exception.
 The reference to an Australian Standard in this case is part of a description of equipment excluded from the definition boiler. As a result, the equipment is not covered by particular provisions of these Regulations relating to high risk work.
