AS\/NZS 5131 sets fabrication and erection requirements for structural steel in Australia and New Zealand, similar in approach to EN 1090-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction categories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Category<\/th>Typical use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
CC1<\/th>Low consequence, simple structures<\/td><\/tr>
CC2<\/th>Most buildings<\/td><\/tr>
CC3<\/th>Large public buildings, high consequence<\/td><\/tr>
CC4<\/th>Exceptional structures<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Key requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Welding to AS\/NZS 1554<\/li>\n\n\n
  • Traceability by category<\/li>\n\n\n
  • Inspection and test plans<\/li>\n\n\n
  • Third-party certification often required by clients (for example ACRS for steel, SCAA schemes for fabricators)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
