When specifying a strip drain for a premium residential, commercial, or architectural project, product quality is only part of the equation. Compliance with recognised drainage standards ensures safety, durability, and long-term performance.
At Strip Drains, we manufacture custom stainless steel and brass linear drains in Sydney. Our products are designed in line with key global and Australian standards:
- AS 3588 – Australian standard for sanitary drainage¹
Here’s what those standards mean for architects, builders, designers and homeowners selecting custom strip drains for bathrooms, thresholds, balconies and outdoor living areas.
Understanding the Key Drainage Compliance Standards
AS 3588
Australia’s standard for sanitary and wet-area drainage. It covers:
- Product performance in Australian conditions
- Waterproofing integration

For Australian projects, AS 3588 is the benchmark for compliant installation and building approval.
