Understanding AS/NZS 1163 Compliance
AS/NZS 1163 is the Australian and New Zealand standard that specifies requirements for cold-formed, electric-resistance welded structural steel tubing. This standard ensures that steel hollow sections used in construction are manufactured to strict performance benchmarks, delivering strength, durability, and reliability. From large-scale high-rise projects to smaller structural upgrades, compliance guarantees safer builds and longer service life.
For builders, engineers, and project managers, meeting AS/NZS 1163 compliance provides certification confidence and design assurance. Selecting steel products manufactured to this standard reduces liability, prevents costly rework, and ensures materials perform as intended.
Review the Australian Steel Institute’s Certification in Australia guide to better understand why AS/NZS 1163 matters.
Advantages of Cold-Formed Hollow Steel Sections
Cold-formed hollow sections provide an ideal balance of strength, affordability, and ease of use compared to hot-formed alternatives. Commonly used in frameworks, bridges, sheds, and commercial builds, they deliver lightweight durability that suits both industrial and architectural applications.
Benefits of cold-formed hollow sections include:
• Strength-to-Weight Ratio – Delivers high structural strength while keeping material weight low.
• Smooth Finish – Provides clean edges and a neat visual appearance for exposed structures.
• Modular Integration – Fits easily into prefabricated and modular construction systems.
