About the new Australian standard ATS-EVO for Seismic Anchors

cdaets-icconsimage007

CDAETS in partnership with Iccons is proud to offer a range of highly approved adhesive and mechanical anchors that fully comply with Australia’s NEW CODE.

As of the 23rd December 2015, the Australian Construction Industry now has a formal specification for the Design, Installation and Assessment of Post-installed Anchors.

Australia’s new standard, “SA TS 101:2015 Design of post-installed and cast-in fastenings for use in concrete”, covers post installed chemical anchors, mechanical anchors and cast-in anchors used in concrete for all safety-critical applications.

The 2016 NATIONAL CONSTRUCTION CODE comes into effect on the 1st of May 2016 and directly references SA TS 101:2015.

CDAETS is a proud Australian supplier of National Code Compliant Anchors across both Adhesive and Mechanical anchors and see these new regulations as a significant step forward for the Australian Construction Market and the safety of everyone.

CDAETS and ICCONS® embrace New “World’s Best Practice” classifications for performance evaluation of Seismic Anchors.

The seismic qualification of anchors has been regulated in Europe since the publication of the ETAG001 Annex E guideline at the beginning of 2013. Anchors subject to this new certification procedure must now include all the required seismic structural technical data in the ETA (European Technical Assessment).

ICCONS®, the first company to provide Australia and New Zealand with a complete range of C1 and C2 Heavy Duty fixings for Structural Applications in Seismic Risk applications and projects. ICCONS® has pioneered the introduction of C1 and C2 certified Mechanical and Chemical anchors into Australia and NZ. Through a “Worlds Best practice” assessment, ICCONS® has collaborated with Friulsider, BBTEC and TOGE in making C1 and C2 certified fixing systems a reality for the Australian and NZ engineering fraternity.The suitability of the seismic load is classified as:

Seismic Category C1

Similar to the USA ICC-ES qualification procedure, it is only suitable for non-structural applications and comprises static tests on cracks up to 0.5mm.

  • Tested under Static or quasi-static loading
  • Suitable for Non-Structural Applications

Seismic Category C2

Mandatory for structural applications. It comprises strict dynamic tests with amplitude variation of the crack up to 0.8 mm and pulsating loads.

  • Tested under Dynamic and Cyclic Loading
  • Suitable for Structural Applications
