Work Health and Safety: Australian Standards

Changes to accessing Australian Standards

Standards Australia has implemented changes to how licenced users can view, download or print Standards via SAI Global.

Registration is a new requirement for everyone using Australian Standards. It is a one-off process. Once registered you will be asked to login to view Standards every time. Searching for Standards will not require you to login.

This process is not connected to TAFE and you will be unable to login using your CRT network login. You must select new registration the first time to register your TAFE email address and create your password. It is imperative that you register with your TAFE email address. Personal email addresses must not be used. 

If accessing offsite you will need to first authenticate as a CRT user before you will be able to access our licence. Use your campus network login to authenticate first.  Then register as a user with SAI Global.

As part of the registration process you will receive a verification code, sent to your email address to complete the task.  

All standards you print or download will be watermarked with your name and email address.

Please contact Library staff if you are having any issues accessing.
