OUR CASTING FOCUS
QX is particularly focused on cast products that keep drainage, access and municipal infrastructure functioning. We help match the application, material, load duty and specification to capable suppliers.
STANDARDS & TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The standard is part of the sourcing requirement from the beginning. The correct product scope, part and application guide the technical review.
For gully tops and manhole tops used in pedestrian and vehicular areas.
Construction principles, classification, design principles, performance requirements and test methods.
Requirements for cast-iron gully tops and manhole tops used in pedestrian and vehicular applications.
LOAD CLASSES / AS APPLICABLE
Load class, where applicable to the product and application.

AS 3996 covers access covers and grates for pedestrian and vehicular areas, including grey and ductile iron products. The document identifies AS 3996:2019 with subsequent amendments.
Project checks: load and dimensional requirements, testing, identification and documentation.
For drainage channels used in vehicular and pedestrian areas. Relevant cast products include channel and drainage gratings, linear drainage systems, kerb drainage components and heavy-duty applications.
MATERIALS, MARKETS & PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
The document’s standards references are starting points for technical review. QX checks them alongside product requirements and destination-market needs.
BS EN 124 is the UK adoption of the EN 124 family. QX can also work against BS 5834, BS 750 and other project-specific British Standards. Match each product to the correct part and application.

ISO 1083 defines grades and requirements for spheroidal graphite cast irons and is referenced by AS 3996.
A standard number alone is not blanket approval. For every project, establish the applicable edition, product scope, material, load class, test method, acceptance criteria and contractual requirement.
