Over the last 15 years R-TECH Material’s steel testing laboratory has received steel from more than 60 countries and hundreds of mills from every continent on the globe. This includes reinforcing bar (rebar), reinforcing coil (recoil) and welded mesh (sometimes called welded fabric). Because it is such a global industry, and because steel suppliers can be very far from their clients, product certification plays a major role in supporting the global steel trade. Fast, accurate and reliable product testing is an integral part of the product certification process, and that is where R-Tech Materials is particularly strong. Our wide scope of UKAS accredited testing is designed to give suppliers and customers the confidence they need in the quality of the materials being delivered.
Almost all of our testing of reinforcing steel products is conducted according to ISO 15630 Parts 1 (Reinforcing Steel) and Part 2 (Welded Fabric). These international tests standards can be applied to most national or international product standards.
