Specifies minimum requirements for the materials, design, fabrication and erection of concrete utility services poles. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the forthcoming issue of AS 4676, Structural design requirements for utility services poles.

This Standard specifies the minimum requirements for materials, design and manufacture of reinforced and prestressed concrete utility services poles.The Standard applies to concrete poles and their component parts which support any one of street lights, floodlights, aerial conductors, electromotive-transport conductors, traffic signals, communication equipment, or similar utility services, or any combination of these services.The Standard does not apply to concrete flag poles (see Note 2).NOTES:1 Methods for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix A.2 Information on the additional loads induced by the temporary attachment of flags or banners to utility services poles is given in Appendix G of AS/NZS 4676.
