Specify with Confidence

New Product Reference Guide Now Available

BlueScope has released a new Product Reference Guide, Specify with Confidence, providing architects, builders, engineers, project managers, certifiers, installers and fixers with a comprehensive resource to help them select the right steel products for their projects. Covering applications such as roofing and walling, rainwater goods, fencing, structural decking, purlins, light gauge steel framing, uncoated structural steel, and more, the guide offers key technical information in a ready-reckoner format.

At first glance, steel products may appear similar, at least when new. But when you look beneath the surface, steel that can look the same can be anything but. This guide helps industry professionals and tradespeople navigate these differences with confidence to select the right BlueScope product for their specific needs. Inside, you’ll find:

• Clear guidance on selecting BlueScope products that meet relevant Australian Standards, comply with the National Construction Code (NCC), and are sourced from ResponsibleSteel™ certified sites.


• A detailed overview of BlueScope’s trusted brands, including COLORBOND® steel, ZINCALUME® steel, TRUECORE® steel, GALVASPAN® steel, DECKFORM® steel, XLERPLATE® steel, and REDCOR® steel.


• Essential details on compliance, quality, warranty and sustainability credentials to support informed decision making and helping to minimise the risk of non-compliant materials being used in project designs.

As Brian Whalan, Strip & Plate Quality Manager at BlueScope, explains:

“Every steel product that leaves our plant is manufactured to meet strict Australian and International Standards. Our steel manufacturing process tracks and traces our steel products at all stages of production, to ensure we provide a quality product that our customers can rely upon for their operations and their reputations.”

Sustainability credentials are a key focus of the guide, with information on BlueScope’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and third-party certifications that can help support customers in achieving their sustainability objectives, whether for rating tools such as NABERS, Green Star, and IS Rating, or for Scope 3 reporting.

This brochure replaces the previous Create with Confidence guide and has been expanded to provide a more comprehensive overview of both coated and uncoated steel products.

Now available for download, the updated Product Reference Guide provides detailed insights into BlueScope’s range of steel products, all designed to meet relevant Australian Standards.
