In January 2011 sales commenced of Version I of the ASAA Natural Stone Design Manual, to date over 100 copies have been sold to specifiers and members of industry.

ASAA Director Colin Cass recently confirmed that Standards Australia are not going to produce a stone standard. Colin Cass advised, "I believe the ASAA manual will be the de-facto Australian standard for the design, selection, installation and maintenance of stone. The manual provides guidance on the selection of stone, the design of the system, installation details as well as maintenance. The people who worked on the ASAA manual have a wealth of knowledge and experience and the document has been reviewed by respected industry professionals. I am sure that there will be a few glitches, but continuing peer review will see this manual become the essential guide for the stone industry.
