The Australian Institute of Surface Finishing and EPA Victoria signed a sustainability covenant agreement to raise the bar in environmental performance in the surface finishing industry
Are you aware of the Building Code?
All surface finishers supplying the building industry should be aware of the intended use of their work by checking their compliance with the BCA and Australian Standards to ensure they meet the prescribed specifications at all times.
Always check with your customer and obtain details of the project at hand to determine the correct product and application process. By applying the right product for a building all stakeholders should have peace of mind. Do you comply?
The AISF strongly encourages all its members to remain aware of all BCA regulations and Australian Standards that impact on their respective business – all the time.
Elimination of Pre-scribed Industrial Waste
Closure of PIW targeted for 2020, threaten the survivial of the Surface Finishing Industry. Enviro- finishing is an AISF initiative which promotes an environmental responsible approach and sustainable development for our future.
The Surface Finishing industry has a significant negative environmental impact. It contributes the highest category of Prescribed Industrial Waste (PIW) and its image has suffered accordingly.
No PIW should be going to landfill by 2020. For an industry who uses many toxic and aggressive chemicals which result in heavy metals, complexants and mineral acids ending up in waste streams, and no viable alternatives at present, this threatens the survival of our entire industry.
