    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard specifies a method for the calculation of titratable sulfidic acidity (TSA) in acid sulfate soil (ASS) using the results obtained from the determination of TAA (AS 4969.2) and TPA (AS 4969.3).

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard sets out procedures for the temporary decommissioning of tanks in situ and the removal, transport and off-site disposal of underground tanks that have contained flammable or combustible liquids. It also describes procedures for the abandonment of tanks in situ where removal is not feasible.
