AS 5350.1, 1st, 2022 – Privately contracted security and detection dogs, Part 1: Acquisition, welfare, training, deployment and retirement

AS 5350.1 was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee MB-029, Private Security and Detection Dogs. The inclusion of roles and responsibilities in AS 5350.1:2022 was approved by the Standards Development and Accreditation Committee (SDAC) on 6 May 2021 as a one-off exemption to the directives of Standardization Guide 006, Rules for the structure and drafting of Australian Standards.

The objective of this document is to specify the requirements for the acquisition, welfare, training, deployment and retirement of privately contracted security and detection dogs. Permission to reproduce extracts from BS 8517-1:2016 and BS 8517-2:2016 is granted by BSI Standards Limited (BSI). No other use of this material is permitted. The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices to which they apply. A “normative” appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix is only for information and guidance.
