Why this webinar mattersEnsuring the safety of welded structures requires adherence to welding standards that demonstrate compliance with the NZ Building Code. Each standard outlines specific material types and provides guidelines for selecting and approving welding consumables.
For most structural applications designed to NZS 3404, welding consumables should match the strength of the base material. This is achieved by using pre-qualified welding consumables as specified in the AS/NZS 1554 standards series, which offers multiple options for compliant consumables.
For seismic applications, welded connections must maintain adequate ductility and meet earthquake loading provisions under NZS 3404. They must also comply with the AS/NZS 5131 requirements for welds subject to seismic effects.
Using the wrong welding consumables can result in non-compliant welds, leading to costly remedial work.
What this webinar covers
This three-part webinar series will provide guidance on selecting welding consumables in alignment with the relevant standards framework. It will cover:
• AS/NZS 5131 – Structural steelwork compliance requirements
• AS/NZS 1554 – Welding of steel structures (Parts 1, 3, 4, and 6)
• Welding consumables standards
Come join us as we delve into the information available to ensure you are using the correct consumable
The information presented includes some of the most recent updates in meeting compliance with the standards. You will be shown how to interpret the information in the standards, data sheets and learn the questions to ask to ensure compliance.
Who should attend
Anyone involved in the importing and reselling of welding consumables, and for anyone in a company involved in the purchase of welding consumables – purchasing team, Responsible Welding Coordinators, Welding Supervisors and contractors.
