PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee IT/24 on Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition.
The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers and users of SCADA systems
with a common telecommunications interface and protocol in order to achieve equipment
interoperability.
The AS 4418 series of Standards has been structured so that Part 1 (this Standard)
provides general requirements for SCADA networks and subsequent Parts provide
requirements for specific applications. The other published Standard in this series, Part 2:
Fire alarm systems, fits the latter criterion.
Specific applications Standards may encompass direct-linked networks and dial-in
networks using the public switched telephone network. Applications which could form

further Parts of this series of Standards could cover areas such as systems for service
utilities, transport and security.
This series of Standards has been prepared to be consistent with requirements developed
by the IEC and published as IEC 870, Telecontrol equipment and systems. Although the
IEC 870 series was developed for the electricity industry, the above Australian Standards
have been developed as part of a possible series for multi-utility applications.
