Should the Contractor wish to use reinforcing steel that is not covered by long-term quality levels of AS/NZS 4671 or AS/NZS 4672, approval must be obtained in writing prior to such use. In seeking such approval, the Contractor shall nominate the members in which each individual batch of reinforcing steel is to be used and shall also state the country, mill of origin and the specification to which the steel for that member is produced, and clearly demonstrate how it is equivalent to that specified by AS/NZS 4671 or AS/NZS 4672. Certificates from a NATA laboratory of chemical composition and physical properties of all reinforcing steel will be required. All testing will be in compliance with Clause B7 of AS/NZS 4671 or AS/NZS 4672, including frequency of sampling and testing. Steel not covered by the long-term quality level of AS/NZS 4671 or AS/NZS 4672 shall not be ordered or placed before written approval has been obtained. Once such approval has been obtained, the materials shall be cut and bent in accordance with AS 3600, AS 5100 or AS 2870. |
