AS 4687.3:2022 establishes minimum requirements for the design, performance, construction and installation of temporary hoardings in order to provide protection to the public.

‘This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee CE-008, Chainlink Fabric Security Fences and Gates, to supersede AS 4687:2007, Temporary fencing and hoardings.

The objective of this document is to establish minimum requirements for the design, performance, construction and installation of temporary hoardings in order to provide protection to the public.

The major changes in this edition are as follows:

(a) The separation of requirements for temporary fencing and hoardings. The definition of temporary hoardings has also been expanded to include two types.

(b) Additional guidance has been provided for determination of wind actions.

(c) The test methods set out in AS 4687:2007 have been elaborated upon.

(d) Where the previous edition was a performance testing standard, this revision provides alternative ways to achieve conformance, adding a design analysis approach.

(e) Division of the previous edition of the Standard into a series of four Standards comprising

the following:

(i) AS 4687.1: Temporary fencing and hoardings, Part 1: General requirements.

(ii) AS 4687.2: Temporary fencing and hoardings, Part 2: Temporary fencing and temporary pedestrian barriers.

(iii) AS4687.3: Temporary fencing and hoardings, Part 3; Temporary hoardings.

(iv) AS 46874: Temporary fencing and hoardings, Part 4: Temporary swimming pool fencing.

The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices or annexes to which they apply. A “normative” appendix or annex is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix or annex is only for information and guidance.
