WTO.澳大利亚通报手提式灭火器强制性安全标准
编号：G/TBT/N/AUS/118
ACCC建议参考澳大利亚最新的自愿性标准AS/NZS 1841:2007，便携式灭火器，第1至8部分，修订便携式非气溶胶灭火器的强制性安全标准。
拟议标准将保持与现有标准（2004年第3号消费者保护通知，其中引用并改变了澳大利亚自愿性标准AS/NZS 1841:1997便携式灭火器，第1至8部分）在设计、施工、性能、试验方面的可比要求，这些灭火器的说明和标签。
通过参考最新的澳大利亚自愿性标准，该标准还将通过引入关于填充公差的新要求为供应商提供额外的透明度，并通过两种替代的排放测试方法为供应商提供更大的符合性选择。
所附的咨询文件还概述了一项提案，旨在通过限制使用新的灭火器供应标准。经进一步协商，本申请已扩大适用于所有新型非气溶胶灭火器和所有进口二手非气溶胶灭火器的供应。因此，它不适用于澳大利亚已经供应的二手灭火器（即非进口灭火器）的供应。
英文原文：
The ACCC is proposing to amend the mandatory safety standard for portable non-aerosol fire extinguishers by referencing the latest voluntary Australian standard AS/NZS 1841:2007, Portable fire extinguishers, Parts 1 to 8.
The proposed standard would maintain comparable requirements to the existing standard (the Consumer Protection Notice No. 3 of 2004, which references and varies the voluntary Australian standard AS/NZS 1841:1997 Portable fire extinguishers, Parts 1 to 8) for the design, construction, performance, testing, instructions and labelling of these extinguishers.
Through reference to the latest voluntary Australian standard, it would also provide additional clarity for suppliers by introducing new requirements on filling tolerance and, provide suppliers with greater compliance options through two alternate methods for discharge testing.
The attached consultation paper also outlines a proposal to address the identified regulatory duplication in Australia around the routine servicing of portable non-aerosol fire extinguishers (as prescribed by the voluntary Australian standard AS 1851-2012 Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment), by limiting the application of the new standard to the supply of new extinguishers only. Following further consultation, this application has been expanded to apply to the supply of all new non-aerosol and all imported second-hand non-aerosol extinguishers. Therefore, it would not apply to the supply of second-hand extinguishers already supplied in Australia (i.e. those not imported).（技术服务中心）
