AS 2423-2002
[Current]Coated steel wire fencing products for terrestrial, aquatic and general use
Specifies requirements and sets out options, for zinc or zinc/aluminium-alloy coated steel wire and wire products for a broad range of fences, trellises, enclosures and the like. Terrestrial, aquatic (notably marine) and general uses are covered. The Standard provides for the optional application of organic coatings, such as paints and plastics, on the metallic coated wire and wire products.
