Keeping Standards up-


up-to-
to- date
Australian Standards® are living documents that reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions
are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.

Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by Standards Australia Committee CS-098, Laser Speed
Detection, following a request by a supplier of these devices for a performance
specification and operating procedures for laser-based speed detection devices. The request
has resulted in the preparation of a two part series of Standards, this one (Part 1) covering
definitions and device requirements predominantly for assistance to manufacturers and
Part 2 covering operational procedures for users of these devices.
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (September 2006). The changes required by
the Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against
the clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.
This Standard does not purport to be an exhaustive set of requirements for the metrological
aspects of speed measurements by laser. The establishment of such requirements falls

within the area of responsibility of the National Standards Commission (NSC) rather than
Standards Australia.
This Standard has been prepared to take into account the state of the art of laser-based
speed detection in Australia at the time of publication.
This Standard is not intended to inhibit further advances in laser-based speed detection
technology. The Committee will consider amending the Standard to include suitable
requirements for new types of equipment as they become available.
The term ‘normative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the
appendix to which it applies. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part of a Standard.

Part 1: Definitions and device requirements

SECT ION 1 SCOPE AND GENERA L

1.1 SCOPE
This is a free 6 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

This Standard specifies definitions and design, construction, functional performance and
marking requirements for laser-based devices which are used to measure the speed of
targets for law enforcement or scientific measurement using the lidar principle. This
Standard includes devices linked to an image capture system.

1.2 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers with a set of minimum
requirements for the design, construction, performance and marking of laser-based speed
detection devices used for law enforcement or scientific measurement in order to ensure
adequate device capabilities for users of these devices.
