  • they exhibit suitable ductility when tested in accordance with ASTM F1667 Standard specification for driven fasteners: Nails, spikes, and staples
  • they meet the requirements of carbon content in accordance with ASTM F1667 Standard specification for driven fasteners: Nails, spikes and staples
  • if zinc coated, they meet the requirements of 320 g/m² of galvanising in accordance with NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings.
