The steel used to construct fences, lighting poles, steel-framed houses, and shelves in major retailers is the focus of a newly published standard backed by Australian research and the latest technology. AS/NZS 4600:2018 Cold-formed steel structures has been published following extensive consultation with stakeholders across Australia and New Zealand.
Suspended ceilings fared poorly in recent earthquakes. In response, the relevant standard was revised, and there are stringent design and installation requirements to prevent collapse in a 1-in-500-year event.
Standards New Zealand has published a new technical specification, SNZ TS 3404:2018 Durability requirements for steel structures and components. It covers the corrosion protection of structural steelwork exposed to New Zealand atmospheric and non-atmospheric environments.

Since NZS 1170.5:2004 Structural design actions - Part 5: Earthquake actions - New Zealand Commentary incorporating Amendment No. 1 was published in September 2016 there have been some questions raised over the interpretation of Table 8.1 Parts and Components, as applied to suspended ceilings.
A new joint standard on road safety devices has been published.
Standards New Zealand has published a new technical specification, SNZ TS 3404:2018 Durability requirements for steel structures and components. It covers the corrosion protection of structural steelwork exposed to New Zealand atmospheric and non-atmospheric environments.
The amendment follows recommendations following the Canterbury and Kaikoura earthquakes.
A new Australian and New Zealand standard on the post design phase of structural steel projects has been published.
SouthMACH is the South Island’s premier technology trade show for engineers, designers, consultants, communications technicians, and operations managers.
From pumping water from a well to fuel injection in your car and even manufacturing medicines, pump systems are used everywhere.
Engineering standards set the benchmarks for all engineering work and engineering related equipment in New Zealand. Standards New Zealand works closely with the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) to ensure that the documents cover all disciplines of engineering and reflect any new developments or research.

Specifies the sizes of test specimen and the procedures for carrying out fracture tests in order to obtain information about types, sizes and distribution of internal imperfections such as porosities, cracks, lack of fusion, lack of penetration and solid inclusions on the fracture surface. Identical to and reproduced from ISO 9017:2017.
View product pageProvides recommendations for specimen preparation, test procedures and their main objectives for macroscopic and microscopic examination. Users of this standard should be aware that its test methods include the methods specified in the superseded AS 2205.5.1 and now includes additional methods for microscopic examination not previously available. Identical to and reproduced from ISO 17639:2003.
View product pageSpecifies the visual testing of fusion welds in metallic materials. It may also be applied to visual testing of the joint prior to welding. Identical to and reproduced from ISO 17637:2016.
View product pageProvides quality levels of imperfections in fusion-welded joints (except for beam welding) in all types of steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys. It applies to material thickness greater than or equal to 0.5 mm. It covers fully penetrated butt welds and all fillet welds. Its principles can also be applied to partial-penetration butt welds. Identical to and reproduced from ISO 5817:2014.
