Steel products made according to AS 1397-2001 are essential components in Australia’s modern building and construction industry. Their versatility and corrosion resistance make them suitable for roofing, walling, purlins, structural frames, garage doors, and fencing.
G550 full-hard steel with AZ150 coating is commonly used for roll-formed roofing sheets. G300 with Z275 coating is used in wall cladding and framing applications. These combinations provide both mechanical performance and long-term protection from rust and weathering.
AS 1397-2001 ensures that all coated steel sheets and coils meet strict quality and dimensional standards, which is vital for automated manufacturing processes and large-scale construction.
Due to its clarity and comprehensive scope, the AS 1397-2001 standard is referenced widely not only in Australia but also in projects throughout Oceania and Southeast Asia.
