Specifies requirements for the design, fabrication, erection and stripping of formwork as well as the evaluation and repair of the formed concrete surface. Colour evaluation charts are included in an Appendix.
With the publication of AS 3610.1:2018, that publication stated that:
“The full review of AS 3610 series is in progress and therefore it was considered appropriate to issue the Standard in two Parts:
- AS 3610.1, Formwork for concrete, Part 1: Formwork specification (this Standard), focuses on surface finish and covers various types of documentation applicable to formwork. This Part was revised and published in 2010. This latest revision includes relevant commentary clauses from AS 3610 Supplement 2—1996 Formwork for concrete—Commentary;
- AS 3610.2, will cover aspects of formwork and falsework design, construction and testing, including Section 4 of AS 3610.1—2010.
NOTE: At the time of publication (16 April 2018), AS 3610-1995 is still under review.
AS 3610.2, AS 3610—1995 and AS 3610.1 will coexist. Sections 2, 3 and 5 in this Standard (AS 3610.1:2018) supersede Sections 2 and 3, as well as Clauses 4.7 and 6 of AS 3610—1995.”
