Specification
 The English version of J ASS 6 now available in a book format is the translation of 
 J ASS 6, Fifth Edition published in 1993. As J ASS 6, Sixth Edition in J apanese was
published in 1996, it would have been ideal to publish the English version as before
corresponding to the new edition. This booklet however only presents outlines of the
important changes in the Sixth Edition of J ASS 6. The readers are thus required to
prepare the English version of J ASS 6, Fifth E dition to follow the description of this
booklet.
Moreover a detailed description of the content of the revisions would be complex and
difficult to read, this booklet has been prepared to present the gist of important
changes. I t is recommended that the J apanese original shall be referred to for detail s
of the revisions. The Sixth Edition includes small changes to the Appendix of the
Fifth E dition, but these are not discussed in this booklet. As the enactment of 
regulations concerning SN Steel (rolled steel for building structural use, J I S G 3136)
now permits its use, the newly included Appendix 7 concerning this material has
been included along with tables comparing the SN material with the SS and SM
Steels that are already in use. I n this list of revisions, in cases where a passage can be
compared with a part of the Fifth Edition, the passage is followed by its section
number in parentheses.

 Summary of the 1996 (Sixth E dition) J ASS 6 Revision

Preface

JASS 6 was prepared by carrying out revisions in line with the following policies.

1. JASS 6 and the Technical Recommendations for Steel Construction for Buildings
have been revised simultaneously to harmonize their content. New editions of the
Recommendations for Quality Criteria and Inspection Standards of Steel Structures
and the Standards for the Ultrasonic Inspection of Weld Defects in Steel Structures
have been published.

2. In JASS 6, the previous title, “Japan Architectural Standard Specification and

Commentaries” is revised by removing “and Commentaries” to refer to only the main
text in order to clarify its position as a specification for contract use.
3. The commentaries in JASS 6 and information of special note are all summarized as
technical guidelines. The volume concerning Factory Fabrication is, as a technical
explanation, expected to serve as criteria for the provision of an autonomous
Section 1 General Provisions

1. Contract Use Specification

JASS 6 and the Technical Guidelines have been simultaneously revised with the
commentaries on JASS 6, information worthy of special note, etc. all recorded in
technical guidelines. The commentary has also been removed in order to strengthen
users' understanding of JASS 6 as a document positioned as a contract use
specification. In sum, the goal has been the creation of a practical specification for 
contract use.
2. Inspection Standard Certificate
The term “mill sheet” has been replaced by the term “standard quality certificate,”
and terms such as certificates including written test results, equivalent quality test
certificates, original equivalent standard quality certificates, etc. concerning matters
such as the categorization of product certificates as standard quality certificates and
as goods certificates, have been defined.
3. New JIS SN Steel
 New JIS SN Steel (rolled steel for building structural use, JIS G 3136) has been
incorporated, and the past SS steel (JIS G 3101) and SM Steel (JIS G 3106)
eliminated.
4. Quality Assurance
 Organization).

Section 3 Materials

1. Structural steel products now include not only JIS standard products, but also
 products equivalent to JIS standard products and products approved by the Minister 
of Construction (3.1 a. Structural Steel Products)
2. SN steel (JIS G 3136, rolled steel for building structures) is added to Table 3.1 as a
Japan Industrial Standard for Structural Steel Products, and the SS material (JI S G
3101, rolled steels for general structures) and SM material (JIS G 3106, rolled steels
for welded structures) have been removed. Centrifugally cast pipes for welded
structures (JIS G 5201) are also removed because they are a product approved by the
Minister of Construction; not a JIS standard product.
3. Steel whose yield ratio, carbon equivalent and cracking parameter comply with the
special notes are stipulated for SN steel itself (3.1 a Structural steel products).
4. Deck plate (JIS G 3352) is added to Table 3.2. (3.1 b Standards for shapes and sizes
of structural steel products).
5. Anchor bolts (previously, SS400) are categorized as structural use anchor bolts
(SN400B or SN490B) and as assembly use anchor bolts (unless specially noted,
3. The paragraph on grooving has been expanded and the grooving shape and scallop
 processing are to conform with special notes. In cases where it is not spelled out in
the special notes, a scallop may be either provided or not provided. Respective shapes
are shown below, and concerning the curve of the arc of the scallop in particular, it is
stipulated that, “it shall be processed so that it smoothly contacts the flange.” (4.7
Grooving).

Figure 4.2 Grooving the Scallop

 6. Standards for the temperature used to straighten distortion by heating have been
 partially revised. The straightening temperature when the material is water cooled
after air cooling shall be changed from “ 800 oC to 900 o C” to “850 oC to 900 oC”, and
the temperature at the start of water cooling has been changed from “500 o C” to “650
o
C.” (4.10 Straightening of distortion).
7. The inside radius of bending of plates that must provide plastic deformation
capabilities, such as columns and the haunch of beams and brace ends for example,
has been required to set at more than 4 times the plate thickness. (4.11 Bending).
8. A new provision has been added concerning backing strips, and stipulates that a plate
thickness is to be equal to or greater than 9 mm, and in case where no scallop is
formed, a two-piece type be used to fit to the shape of the corner of the fillet.
9. A new provision has been added that stipulates that the leg length of the bead of tack 
welding shall be a minimum of 4 mm and that at the corners of cold formed square
steel pipe and other locations subject to cold plastic processing, tack welding shall be
avoided.

Section 5 Welding

1. A new provision stipulates that even where a qualification test for welders is
specially noted, a welder who has already been approved based on an equivalent
3. Provisions concerning backing strips are added. (5.7 General conditions for welding
work)
(1) Tack welding of a backing strip on a beam - column joint using backing strips shall,
as shown in Figure 5.2 a, not be performed in a range of 5 to 10 mm from both ends
of the beam flange, nor within 5 to 10 mm of the startup point of the web fillet arc
or the end of the fillet weld toe.
(2) A fillet weld used to assemble a backing strip shall be between 4 mm and 6 mm of 
single pass, and shall be between 40 mm and 60 mm long.

One-piece type backing strip (applied when a scallop is formed)

Run-off plate: attached to a

backing strip

(a) Section
Figure 5.2 b. Case of Backing Strip Attached to the Outside of a Beam Flange

(3) As shown in Figure 5.2 b, when a backing strip is attached to the outside of a beam
flange by on-site welding, it shall not be directly tack welded to the base metal such
as beam flange or column flange.
4. The need for a scallop for column - beam joints where a complete penetration weld is
 performed on the beam flanges of the beam end welds shall be spelled out in the
special notes. When there is no mention of it in the special note, it shall conform with
4.7 Grooving a (2). When a scallop is needed for fabrication, the authorization of the
supervisor shall be obtained. (5.7 h. Scallop).
2. The definitions of the bolt groups in tightening work have been revised from the
 previous Figure 6.2 to the following figure. (6.4 Tightening of high strength bolts).

Bolt groups used for tightening work

 Tightening sequence

 Tightening of each bolt group shall be done from the center of the
 joint towards the edge of the plate.
Section 9 Inspection and Delivery of Products

1. Interim inspections, which are inspections performed by the receiving side, have been
introduced and product inspections are categorized as in-house inspections and as
receiving / interim inspections. Because it is extremely difficult to uniformly perform
interim inspections, the items inspected, methods, quantities, acceptance/rejection
criteria, performance timings, etc. shall be spelled out in the special notes.

Section 10 Construction / Site Work 

1. The Scope of Application has been expanded to include "work related to quality and
 precision of structural steel frameworks, and later incidental work." (10.1 Scope of 
Application).

2. To guarantee sound anchorage of column bases, anchor bolts shall be classified as

either structural use anchor bolts or assembly use anchor bolts in acc ordance with the
 purpose of the anchor bolts, that is, in the case of bolts that are load bearing (A
type), attention is drawn for the need to specify the material in the design drawing.
(10.3 Anchorage).
a. Items that must always be spelled out in the special notes
10.3 h “Mortar Strength” has been added.

 b. Items that must be spelled out in case of adoption

4.10 Revised to (4) “SN400, SN490.”
8.3 “Treatment other than rust-proof paint” is added.
9.1 c (1) “Interim inspection performed/not performed” is added.
10.7 Deck plate and headed stud
a. (3) “Case where used for structural use” is added.
12.4 b. (3) “Test of coating weight” has been moved from the items that
must always be spelled out to this category.

c. Items , if not spelled out, shall comply with this JASS 6 specification
5.7 h. “Scallop necessary/unnecessary” is added.
10.7 Deck plate and headed stud
e. (1) ii) “Joining method when not used” and “Welding location of 
 plug weld” have been added.
g.. “Preliminary confirmation test (trial weld)” has been added.
