Description

AS 3780 – 2023 Edition – The storage and handling of corrosive substances

AS 3780 sets out requirements and recommendations for the safe storage and handling of corrosive substances, i.e. substances that meet the Class 8 classification criteria of the ADG Code.

AS 3780 also applies to other dangerous goods that are assigned a Class 8 subsidiary hazard by the ADG Code, except where they are of Class 2. The user of this document should refer to relevant federal, state and territory regulations and determine legal requirements as applicable.

Where a corrosive liquid is also classified as a C1 combustible liquid (GHS flammable liquid Category 4), AS 1940 is a relevant Australian Standard.

This document provides minimum acceptable safety requirements for storage facilities, operating procedures, emergency planning and fire protection. It also provides technical guidance that may assist in the storage and handling of corrosive substances in accordance with the risk management requirements of relevant authorized codes of practice.
NOTE A discussion of the hazards presented by corrosive substances is provided in Appendix A.
