Specifies requirements for the designation, manufacture, and testing of galvanized steel wire strand for structural, guying, and general purpose applications. The designation method is based on ISO 3578.

This standard specifies requirements for galvanized round steel strand of the constructions given in Tables 1.1 and 1.2 and which are used for structural, and general purpose applications.This standard excludes strand for concrete stressing and for automobiles and aeroplanes.
