In 2025-2026, the ASI:
- Spearheaded a major revision of the AS/NZS 4100 Steel Structures Standard and sent it to Standards Australia for review in 2026, and presented a webinar on Advanced Analysis to AS 4100. AS4100 sets out minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, and modification of steelwork in structures.
- Presented a range of webinars, including on Advanced Analysis to AS 4100. AS 4100 sets out minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, and modification of steelwork in structures.
- Developed a draft quality management system (QMS), configured specifically to integrate the requirements of AS/NZS ISO 9001, AS/NZS 5131 and AS/NZS ISO 3834. Once finalised the QMS will be offered on an online platform with integrated help and training.
- Developed a thought-leadership paper on Data-driven connectivity as a position paper for the construction industry in general and steel construction in particular. Alignment on digital connectivity systems and processes will help the steel industry action robust traceability and compliance.
- Lodged a submission to the final review of AS3959 Construction in Bushfire Prone Areas. This has been a two-year process of standards committee meetings.
- Met with the Construction, Forestry, Maritime and Energy Union (CFMEU) to seek an update on outcomes from the CFMEU training compliance team’s mapping and gap assessment in bolt installation training requirements.
- Met with the Australasian Corrosion Association and the Galvanizers Association of Australia to discuss standards to evaluate overseas fabricated structures when audited by the Steelwork Compliance Australia (SCA) scheme.
- Worked with roll forming members to progress a revision of HB 39 – Installation Code for Metal Roof and Wall Cladding.
- Continued to represent the industry on a wide range of Australian Standards committees (see https://www.steel.org.au/what-we-do/representation-and-memberships/).
