Updated Standard for Suspended Ceilings – Design and Installation

Are you aware there is now a new standard in place for the installation of suspended ceilings in Australia? Make sure you understand these new standards, its law! (Download the entire paper here to read more)

The Australian Standard for Design and Installation of Suspended Ceilings was previously updated over 20 years ago. 

The last two decades have seen massive developments in concrete anchoring technology and guideline standards. AS/NZS2785:2000 was drafted before reliable concrete anchoring standards had been published, concrete anchor capacities were not regulated and published load capacities may not have provided an allowance for anchoring into the overhead “tension zone” of the concrete soffit.

Earlier this year the updated standard AS/NZS2785:2020 Suspended Ceilings – Design and Installation was released. The revised standard was required to align with many newer related standards, most specifically AS5216:2018 Design of post-installed and cast-in fastenings in concrete.
