Specifies a series of preferred dimensions for lighting poles which are designed to support luminaires and ancillary equipment for the lighting of roads and other outdoor public spaces. Applies to a variety of pole types, including those of the 'frangible' and 'slip-base' design. Also specifies preferred dimensions for separate bracket arms of a type designed for mounting onto electricity distribution poles, walls or other supporting surfaces.

This Standard specifies preferred dimensions for poles which are designed to support luminaires and ancillary equipment for the lighting of roads and other outdoor public spaces. The dimensions specified also apply to joint-use lighting poles and sections of joint-use mast arms which are designed to support luminaires.The Standard sets out a range of sizes for use in providing the general categories of lighting defined in AS 1158.1, namely, Categories A, B and C (see Preface of this Standard).The requirements apply to poles of both the rigid and frangible type. No requirements are specified covering-(a) aesthetic considerations of design or shape, except where these matters are controlled by the preferred dimensions;(b) structural design, performance or testing; or(c) the installation of the poles.NOTES:1 Advice should be sought on appropriate installation practices, particularly for poles of the slip-base design where special installation requirements apply to ensure operation in the intended manner.2 It is recognized that dimensions other than those specified in this Standard will sometimes be required to cater for special conditions or applications.3 Appendix A provides a guide to the information which should be provided with an enquiry or order for lighting poles and bracket arms complying with this Standard.
