AS 4084 vs FEM 10.2.06 vs EN 15512
มาตรฐาน Rack ใช้ตัวไหน?

AS 4084-2012 (Australian Standard) is the design + inspection standard for steel storage racking that Saha + most Thai suppliers use because: • Covers multiple systems — Selective / Drive-In / Cantilever / Push-Back / Pallet Live • Seismic provisions per AS 1170.4 — appropriate for Thailand zones 2A-2B (Northern + Andaman) • Lower cost + lead time than EN 15512 (EN full-scale testing runs ฿200,000-500,000) • Asia-Pacific suppliers (Australian, NZ, Thai, Chinese) have AS 4084 test data ready • EN 15512 is mostly used in automotive plants (BMW, Mercedes) — not general work

Per FEM 10.2.06 (revised 2018) — measure upright frame lateral bending at 1 meter span: • 🟢 **Green** < 3 mm — acceptable, continue use • 🟠 **Amber** 3-5 mm — action required within 4 weeks, reduce load 50% • 🔴 **Red** > 5 mm — immediate offload, do not use, replace upright or beam Use a 1m straight edge or laser plumb. Measurement must be by PRRS-certified personnel (Person Responsible for Rack Safety) at least annually. Saha provides inspection service for regular customers — full report + measurement spreadsheet + repair plan.

✅ Mandatory — all three standards require annual expert inspection: • Thai law: Occupational Safety, Health and Environment Act B.E. 2554 — requires annual inspection of building structural elements • Factory insurance: most insurers require inspection report before renewal • ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 audit: requires rack inspection log **Inspection cost (1,000 m² warehouse, ~500-800 pallet positions):** • AS 4084 inspection only: ฿15,000-30,000 • FEM 10.2.06 PRRS report (with measurement spreadsheet + repair plan): ฿20,000-40,000 • EN 15512 full Annex A (with structural verification): ฿30,000-50,000 Recommended frequency: visual weekly + expert annual.

Saha supplies rack via partners with test data for all three — choose by TOR + budget: • **Default (most Thai TOR)**: AS 4084 — Asian suppliers, lead time 4-6 weeks, ฿700-1,200 per pallet position (Selective) • **EN 15512 spec**: European suppliers, lead time 8-12 weeks, price +30-50% • **FEM 10.2.06**: used for inspection of installed rack — not for design **Required submittals:** • Drawing + load chart (UDL kg/pallet + total bay load) • Anchor design (concrete strength + slab thickness) • Seismic zone (if 2A+) — AS 1170.4 or EN 16681 Quotation + test data sample available on request.

Mandatory checklist after installation: 1. **Final inspection** by supplier + buyer's engineer (per AS 4084 §10 or EN 15512 §9) 2. **Load test** — UDL test per design (10-15% over rated) for 24 hours 3. **Plumb check** — verify uprights are vertical ≤ 1/450 of height 4. **Anchor torque check** — verify bolt torque per spec (typically 35-50 Nm for M12 expansion anchors) 5. **Signage** — install MAX LOAD per beam + per bay (yellow tape per AS 4084 §11) 6. **User training** — forklift operators + warehouse staff for damage reporting 7. **Initial inspection report** — baseline for annual comparison **Liability:** without complete reports, insurance may not pay if rack collapses.
