AS4084:2023
The AS4084:2023 Australian Pallet Racking Standard establishes the safety, design, installation, and maintenance requirements for steel storage racking systems. This standard is critical for ensuring that pallet racking systems in warehouses and industrial facilities meet stringent safety and performance benchmarks. Compliance with AS4084 ensures businesses protect their employees, inventory, and infrastructure while adhering to Australian regulatory requirements.
AS4084:2023 Compliance
Key Aspects of AS4084:2023 Compliance
- Scope of Application
AS4084 applies exclusively to steel storage racking systems such as selective pallet racking and industrial racks. However, it excludes systems like cantilever racking, drive-in racking, and mobile or non-steel-based structures. Businesses must ensure their steel racking solutions comply with this standard for operational safety. - Installation Requirements
- Racking systems must be installed by qualified professionals who adhere to proper leveling, anchoring, and secure fastening protocols.
- It is essential to follow the design and load specifications to avoid overloading or structural failure.
- Compliance ensures stability, minimizing risks associated with improper assembly.
- Annual Racking Audits
Under AS4084, businesses must conduct mandatory safety audits of their racking systems every 12 months. These inspections check for signs of wear, damage, or misalignment and ensure systems continue to operate safely. - Seismic Design Considerations
For warehouses in seismic-prone areas, AS4084 includes guidelines for designing racking systems that can endure earthquakes. This ensures not only the safety of the structure but also the protection of inventory and employees during seismic activity. - Operational Guidelines
- Proper handling of pallets and materials ensures the racking system operates within its load-bearing capacity.
- Regular inspections by qualified personnel should identify and address any damages or compliance issues promptly.
