(b) Reinforcing steel of Ductility Class N in accordance with AS/NZS 4671. NOTE: These reinforcing materials may be used, without restriction, in all applications referred to in this Standard.

(c) Reinforcing steel of Ductility Class L in accordance with AS/NZS 4671—

(i) may be used as main or secondary reinforcement in the form of welded wire mesh, or as wire, bar and mesh in fitments; but

(ii) shall not be used in any situation where the reinforcement is required to undergo large plastic deformation under strength limit state conditions.
