EN ISO 15835 Steels for Concrete Reinforcement - Reinforcing Fasteners Test for Mechanical Joints of Bars

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 15835 testing. This standard specifies requirements for joiners for mechanical joining of steel reinforcing bars. More demanding requirements can be specified by the customer.

This standard applies to the continuous production of coupler components. It is intended to be used with adequate control measures for the processing of reinforcing rods, i.e. for the manufacture of mechanical attachment.

This standard specifies requirements for couplers used for mechanical splices in reinforced concrete structures under predominantly static loads. This standard specifies additional requirements for couplers used in structures subjected to high-cycle elastic fatigue loading or low-cycle elastic-plastic reverse loading.

If all samples of the mechanical joint tensile strength tests fail except for the mechanical joint length and the test results meet the product standard of the bar, no further verification of the tensile strength or ductility of the mechanical joint is required.

To assure the buyer of couplers that the performance criteria of EN ISO 15835 are met, the coupler manufacturer must have a quality system approved by a certification body. It is the duty of the certification body to check and certify that the performance criteria can be met in a sustainable way.
