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.

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:
