With the importance of conforming building products regularly in the spotlight, NASH has prepared an Advisory Note NAN 006 on steel sourcing and compliance.
Originally published in NASH News in June 2012, the Advisory Note first explains the relationship between steel product standards and the design standards used for cold formed steel design. It explains the entire cold formed steel supply process from ordering through manufacture, marking and test certification (where required).
Fabricator members in particular are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the content of the Advisory Note and ensure their supply arrangements are appropriate for all products sourced.
