Australian ICT Standards to be Withdrawn

Standards Australia has advised that it is planning to withdraw some Australian Standards which are more than 10 years old. Details are:
Also the Productivity Commission has released a study into the Australian Government’s relationship with Standards Australia.

The list of standards to be withdrawn is a bit difficult to read, as they are grouped in batches by date inspected. I have extracted the ICT standards from the latest version of the list and sorted them by the name of the standard:

Communication and information technology standards for withdrawal by Standards Australia.
As at 22 August 2006.
