STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE

Members of the Galvanizers Association of Australia (GAA) supply the service of hot dip galvanizing on fabricated articles to AS/NZS 4680, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The durability of the finished hot dip galvanized coating is a function of the environment to which the article is exposed. For atmospheric environments common to Australia, this durability can be estimated from AS/NZS 2312.2.

The galvanizer has no control over the final location and installation of the hot dip galvanized article, nor its intended use or maintenance of the finished hot dip galvanized coating which must necessarily be carried out by the end user. Therefore, the galvanizer has no control over the durability of the hot dip galvanized coating.

A declaration of conformance to AS/NZS 4680 is available from all members of the GAA on request. If requested and agreed in writing prior to galvanizing of the fabricated article, a test certificate showing the measured galvanized coating thickness from a sample inspection carried out to the requirements of AS/NZS 4680 is available from all members of the GAA.
