This specification has been prepared by the galvanizing industry through its technical working group, in consultation with industry and a number of consulting engineering groups. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Australian/New Zealand Standard 4680 and is designed for simple insertion into specifiers’ overall materials specifications.

This specification covers the galvanized coating applied to general steel articles, structural sections, angles, channels, beams, columns, fabricated steel assemblies, threaded fasteners and other steel components. This specification does not apply to the galvanized coating on semi-finished products such as wire, tube or sheet galvanized in specialised or automatic plants.
