AMENDMENT TO AS4100:

STEEL STRUCTURES STANDARD

Covering the design, fabrication, erection and
modication of structural steelwork, AS4100 has
been brought up to date with revisions to the
following Australian and New Zealand Standards:
AS/NZS 1163 Cold-formed structural steel
hollow sections
AS/NZS 3678 Hot-rolled plates, oorplates
and slabs
AS/NZS 3679.1 Hot-rolled bars and sections
AS/NZS 3679.2 Welded I Sections
AS/NZS 1554 Structural Steel Welding
AS 1170.4 Structural Design Actions
Earthquake Actions in Australia
Amendments also cover the inclusion of quenched and tempered, AS3597
compliant steels to the list of compliant steels covered by AS4100.
Changes to Clause 2.2.2 on Acceptance of Steels reect industry concerns,
particularly those of designers and asset owners, on the quality of steel
supplied into their projects. The supplied steel, must now have a test report
or certicate with minimum requirements as set out in the Standards for
individual structural steel products to demonstrate compliance to
AS 4100. Furthermore, test certicates shall be provided by an
independent laboratory, accredited by the International Laboratory
Accreditation Corporation or the Asia Pacic Laboratory Accreditation
Cooperation such as NATA.
Appropriate test certicates are available for all products manufactured by
OneSteel to the Australian Standards referenced in AS4100, and are third
party certied by ACRS, which provides further condence for designers
and asset owners. ACRS conrm the technical competence of suppliers
and provide assurance of a consistent product that meets the Standard to
which it is certied.
An amendment to AS4100 Steel
Structures, was published by Standards
Australia in February this year.
Test Certicates are available for all
OneSteel products manufactured to
the Australian Standards referenced in
AS4100, and are third party certied
by ACRS.
