Engineering Reference & Standards
What AS/NZS and equivalent international standards does ToneCooling Australia map?
Which AS/NZS standards apply to which liquid cooling cold plate programmes?
AS/NZS 5139:2019 + IEC 62619:2017
Australian grid-scale battery storage installations. ToneCooling supplies cell-to-cell ΔT envelope evidence (CFD + real test) and PFAS-free SGS material certification.
AS/NZS 4777.2:2020
Grid-forming and PCS inverter cooling for AU BESS programmes. ToneCooling supplies thermal cycling endurance evidence for IGBT / SiC module footprints.
AS/NZS 60068-2-14 ≡ IEC 60068-2-14:2009
Endurance evidence for AI server, BESS, and power electronics cold plates. −40 °C to 150 °C operating range, 20–98 % RH humidity envelope.
AS/NZS 60529
Ingress protection rating evidence for cold plate hydraulic interface. IP rating typically IPX7 for hose / quick-disconnect coupling joints.
ISO 9227 (AU coastal context)
Corrosion endurance evidence for harsh-environment Australian deployments — coastal data centres, marine traction, mining sites.
RoHS 2.0 + PFAS-free EN 17681-1:2022
Material substrate restricted-substances declaration. PFAS-free SGS certification per EN 17681-1:2022 for grid-scale BESS procurement.
ISO 9001:2015 + IATF 16949:2016
Quality management evidence. Lot-traceable production line, IATF 16949-aligned automotive QMS for OEM-tier programmes (PPAP Levels 1–5).
China-Australia Free Trade Agreement Certificate of Origin
0–5 % AU import duty under HS 8419 / 8537. Certificate of Origin issued by an authorised China-side body, supplied with every shipment to Australia.
