A number of AT products, have been excluded or moved/combined with other codes. In some cases the codes themselves have been changed. This information is provided in Annex C in the consultation link provided below – the current standards are listed in the first column headed 6th edition and the new ones are in the column headed 7th Edition. ATSA suggests members check to ensure the AT you provide is still included in the revised 7th edition standards.
The definitions in Section 5 may assist you in locating any AT that has been changed. For example, Seat cushions and underlays was coded as 18 10 06 in the 6th edition and now seems to be covered as Seat cushions and underlays code 04 33 03 in the 6th and 7th edition column of the table in Annex C. Many of the AT training products appear to have been deleted altogether from the new edition, however, they may be included in the class covering their primary function. To read the proposed changes please to the AT Standards please go to https://comment.standards.org.au/Drafts/175869b9-fa16-4158-aaa4-f6642d3e8f11
