ISO 15630-1 Steel for Reinforcing and Prestressing Concrete - Standard Test for Reinforcement Bars, Bars and Wire

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 15630-1 testing. The ISO 15630-1 standard describes methods for chemical and mechanical testing and measurement of geometric characteristics that can be applied to reinforcing bars, rods and wires for concrete.

It covers the following test methods under the general heading of steel for reinforcement and prestressing of concrete:

• Section 1: Reinforcement rods, rope and wire
• Section 2: Welded mesh steels
• Section 3: prestressed steel

The purpose of the ISO 15630 standard is to reinforce steels and explain all relevant test methods for pre-stressing in a single standard. For this purpose, current international standards for product tests have been revised, updated and some new test methods have been added. In general, reference has been made to international standards for metal applicability testing.

Steel reinforcing bar or rebar is embedded in the concrete to increase the overall strength of the surrounding concrete. Standards have been developed to ensure that rebar produced around the world exhibits the same physical, chemical and mechanical properties regardless of the source.

Appropriate mechanical testing is required to determine whether the rebar complies with published standards and to define the quality of the product.
