Keeping Standards up-to-date


Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and
new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves
they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which
may have been published since the Standard was purchased.
Detailed information about joint Australian/New Zealand Standards can be found by
visiting the Standards Web Shop at www.standards.com.au or Standards New
Zealand web site at www.standards.co.nz and looking up the relevant Standard in
the on-line catalogue.
Alternatively, both organizations publish an annual printed Catalogue with full
details of all current Standards. For more frequent listings or notification of
revisions, amendments and withdrawals, Standards Australia and Standards New
Zealand offer a number of update options. For information about these services,
users should contact their respective national Standards organization.
We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially
encourage readers to notify us immediately of any apparent inaccuracies or
ambiguities. Please address your comments to the Chief Executive of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand at the address shown on the back
cover.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 05584.

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australian/Standards New Zealand
Committee MT-009, Metal Finishing, to supersede AS/NZS 4680:1999, Hot-dip galvanized
(zinc) coatings on fabricated ferrous articles.
The objective of this Standard is to specify the requirements for hot-dip galvanized (zinc)
coatings applied to general fabricated ferrous products.
The objective of this revision is to revise the hot-dip galvanized coating specifications.
Although International Standard ISO 1461 covers the hot-dip galvanizing process for
general fabricated ferrous articles, Committee MT-009 considered that the present
document is more appropriate to Australian industry conditions and is more user friendly.

The term normative and informative have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A normative appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an informative appendix is only for information and guidance.

Australian/New Zealand Standard
Hot-dip galvanized (zinc) coatings on fabricated ferrous articles
1 SCOPE
This Standard specifies requirements and tests for hot-dip zinc coatings on fabricated
ferrous articles including structural steel, steel reinforcements, steel sheet fabrications,
assembled steel products, tubular fabrications, fabricated wire work, steel forgings, steel
stampings, ferrous castings, nails and other small components.
This Standard applies to both centrifuged and non-centrifuged articles.

This is a free 6 page sample. Access the full version online.

This Standard does not apply to products such as wire and welded wire fabric (see
AS/NZS 4534), sheet (see AS 1397) or open sections (see AS/NZS 4791) and tube hot-dip
galvanized in continuous, semi-continuous or specialized plants (see AS/NZS 4792).
NOTES:
1

Advice and recommendations on information to be supplied by the purchaser to the hot-dip


galvanizer at the time of enquiry or order are contained in the purchasing guidelines set out in
Appendix A.

Means for demonstrating compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix B.

After-treatment of hot-dip galvanized articles is not covered by this Standard. Such treatment
(if any) should be specified separately by the purchaser.
