Description

This Standard gives provisions for verification testing of high-strength steel fastener assemblies for structural engineering, which is the testing undertaken by the supplier who first puts the product into the market in Australia or New Zealand.

NOTE:  The verification testing is additional to the testing required by AS/NZS 1252.1

Scope

The Standard does not specify requirements for-

• a)  product testing as related to manufacture and ongoing control of production;
• b)  production process control; or
• c)  management systems

NOTES:

1. Specific initial type testing or product testing requirements, such as test methods, and specific requirements related to ongoing control of production, are contained in AS/NZS 1252.1
2. Production process control is also sometimes referred to as ongoing control of production, production quality control, or factory inspection.
3. Specific requirements for management systems are found in other Standards e.g.   the requirements for quality management systems are contained in AS/NZS ISO 9001
