CRSI Publishes Stainless Steel Fabrication Standard

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (May 5, 2017) —  The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) has released a new standard, Standard Practice for Stainless Steel Reinforcing Bar Fabrication Facilities (ANSI/CRSI–IPG4.1). This document defines the quality processes for fabrication of stainless steel reinforcing bars. Processes encompass the development and use of a fabrication quality manual, proper personnel training, inspection criteria, handling and storage, fabrication and the shipping to jobsites.

This document can be obtained by contacting Amy Trygestad, director of codes and standards, at 630-380-5874 or at [email protected].

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) as a Standards Development Organization (SDO) in April 2013. The scope of CRSI’s standards activities includes the development and maintenance of consensus standards for design, detailing, fabrication, placement, and construction of assemblies consisting of steel reinforcement and associated products used in concrete and masonry construction.  CRSI currently has five standards.
