AS/NZS 1554.3:2008 PDF Download

AS/NZS 1554.3:2008 is a standard that provides requirements for the welding of reinforcing steel used in concrete structures. The standard covers various welding processes, including manual metal-arc welding (MMAW), gas metal-arc welding (GMAW), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), flash butt welding, flame-pressure welding, or other approved processes.

The standard specifically applies to the welding of reinforcing steels that comply with AS/NZS 4671, but it also allows for the use of other steels as long as they meet the provided requirements. It also covers the welding of steel connection devices, inserts, anchors, and anchor details, including prefabricated assemblies used in reinforced and precast concrete constructions.

It should be noted that additional information can be found in WTIA Technical Note 11, which can provide further guidance on the implementation of the standard.
