Full title and description

ISO 15698-2:2012 — Steel for the reinforcement of concrete — Headed bars — Part 2: Test methods. This part of ISO 15698 specifies the test methods applicable to headed steel bars intended for use as reinforcement in concrete structures; it is intended to be used alongside reinforced-concrete design standards and product standards for reinforcing bars.

Abstract

This standard defines the test methods for headed reinforcing steel bars (headed bars) used in concrete structures. It describes the measurements, mechanical tests and procedures necessary to assess headed-bar performance and conformity to related product requirements. Tests under impact loading are explicitly excluded from this part.

Scope

Applies to test methods for headed steel bars (headed bars) intended as reinforcement in concrete structures. The part is intended to be used with reinforced-concrete design standards and with product standards for reinforcing bars. It does not cover tests for headed bars under impact loading.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of test procedures applicable to headed bars used as concrete reinforcement (general test methodology and requirements).
• Mechanical tests and acceptance criteria to verify head integrity, bar-head connection performance and relevant dimensional checks.
• Requirements for sample preparation, test execution and reporting to ensure results are comparable with related product requirements and design standards.
• Explicit exclusion: tests of headed bars under impact loading are outside the scope of this part.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of headed reinforcing bars, materials and quality testing laboratories, construction and structural engineers, certification bodies and standards committees to verify conformity of headed bar products and to support specification and acceptance testing in reinforced-concrete construction projects.

Related standards

Primary companion: ISO 15698-1:2012 (Steel for the reinforcement of concrete — Headed bars — Part 1: Requirements). Other related standards include test-method series for reinforcing steel (for example the ISO 15630 series) and national/regional product standards for reinforcement.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the test procedures, sample preparation and reporting necessary to verify performance and conformity of headed bars; it does not cover impact-loading tests.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, test laboratories, structural and materials engineers, certification and inspection bodies, and standards committees involved in reinforced-concrete products and construction.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The published 2012 edition (Edition 1) was systematically reviewed and confirmed in recent ISO lifecycle activity; the ISO bibliographic record indicates the publication remains current following confirmation. For procurement or compliance, always check the ISO catalogue or national standards body for any amendments or newer editions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 15698 is a multi-part series for headed bars; Part 1 covers product requirements (ISO 15698-1:2012) and Part 2 covers test methods (this document). The series complements other reinforcing-steel test and product standards (for example ISO 15630 series).
