PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Committee WD-003, Welding of Structures, to supersede AS/NZS 1554.3—2002,
Structural steel welding, Part 3: Welding of reinforcing steel.
The objective of this Standard is to provide a code for the welding of reinforcing steel.
This edition takes cognizance of the ISO Standards for the welding of reinforcing steels,
ISO 17660-1, Welding—Welding of reinforcing steel, Part 1: Load-bearing welded joints
and ISO 17660-2, Welding—Welding of reinforcing steel, Part 2: Non load-bearing welded
joints and, where deemed relevant by the Committee, appropriate requirements have been
incorporated or adopted with modification. Changes associated with Australia and New
Zealand adopting the ISO welding consumable Standards have also been included in this
edition, as have changes to maintain consistency with other parts of the AS/NZS 1554
series of Standards.
The differences with the 2002 edition of AS/NZS 1554.3 are as follow:

can act in an advisory capacity concerning equivalent suitability, but specific approval
remains the prerogative of the inspecting authority.
