Continental Steel is proud to have achieved the highest standards in steel fabrication.
Following a full-day independent audit by Steelwork Compliance Australia, no major or minor non-conformances were identified in our QR-code–based traceability quality management systems.
As a result, Continental Steel has achieved dual certification to AS/NZS 5131 – Construction Category 3 (CC3) and AS/NZS ISO 3834 Part 2. This certification confirms our capability to deliver complex, high-specification structural steel projects in full alignment with the most demanding industry standards.
CC3 is often spoken about in terms of documentation. Auditors know it is proven elsewhere.
Under AS/NZS 5131 CC3, compliance is demonstrated on the workshop floor, where clear linkage exists between welding procedures, welder qualifications, and production welds; traceability is maintained through cutting, fit-up, welding, and coating; and where inspections are carried out at points in the process where corrective action is still possible, ensuring no mistakes.
This achievement reflects the standard Continental Steel holds itself to. When the steel we fabricate is what holds a building together, quality is non-negotiable. It is how we ensure the right outcomes for our clients, and how we know we have done the job properly.
Now on to the next great project!
