Full title and description

ISO 10144:2018 — Steels for the reinforcement and prestressing of concrete — Certification scheme for steel bars and wires. This International Standard specifies rules for a product certification scheme intended to verify continuous-production conformity of steel bars, rods and wires used as reinforcement and prestressing steel in concrete structures.

Abstract

This document sets out requirements and procedures for a certification scheme for continuous production of steel bars, rods and wires for reinforcement and prestressing of concrete. It includes requirements for production-process and management-system assessment and describes the stages of product certification (initial evaluation, review of evidence of conformity, certification decision and attestation, and surveillance). The scheme is intended to verify conformity with product standards such as the ISO 6935 series.

Scope

ISO 10144:2018 applies to certification schemes for continuous production of steel bars, rods and wires intended for reinforcement and prestressing of concrete. The standard defines the certification process used to verify conformity with relevant product standards (for example, parts of the ISO 6935 series) and specifies requirements for production-process checks and management-system assessment within a product certification framework.

Key topics and requirements

• Rules for a product certification scheme for continuous production of steel reinforcement and prestressing steels.
• Requirements for assessment of production processes and the manufacturer’s management system.
• Defined certification stages: initial evaluation, review of evidence of conformity, certification decision and attestation, and ongoing surveillance.
• Application intended to demonstrate conformity with product standards such as ISO 6935 parts (plain and ribbed bars).

Typical use and users

Typical users and stakeholders include national and international certification bodies, steel manufacturers and their quality/production managers, procurement and specification engineers in construction and infrastructure projects, testing laboratories, and regulatory authorities overseeing structural materials. The standard is used to structure certification programmes that give confidence to specifiers and clients that reinforcement steels meet product-standard requirements.

Related standards

ISO 6935 series — Steel for the reinforcement of concrete (notably Part 1: Plain bars, and Part 2: Ribbed bars) are product standards commonly referenced together with ISO 10144 for conformity assessment. ISO/TC 17/SC 16 (steels for reinforcement) is the technical committee responsible for these documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10144:2018 is an ISO International Standard that specifies a certification scheme for continuous production of steel bars, rods and wires used for reinforcement and prestressing of concrete structures.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the rules and procedures for a product certification scheme including requirements for production-process and management-system assessment, and the stages of certification (initial evaluation, review of evidence, certification decision and attestation, and surveillance). It is intended to be used to verify conformity with product standards such as the ISO 6935 series.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Certification bodies, steel manufacturers and their quality/production teams, testing laboratories, specifiers and structural engineers, procurement specialists and regulators involved in construction-material compliance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10144:2018 is the current second edition (published 2018) and it replaces the earlier ISO 10144:1991 edition. Users should check the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for any later confirmations or revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is linked to the ISO product standards for reinforcement steels (the ISO 6935 series—Part 1 for plain bars and Part 2 for ribbed bars) and sits within the work of ISO/TC 17/SC 16 (steels for reinforcement). The standard is intended to be used alongside those product standards when certifying conformity.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Steel reinforcement, prestressing, certification, product conformity, continuous production, ISO 6935, management system assessment, surveillance, initial evaluation.
