ISO Standards for Steel Structures
ISO 9001: Quality Management Systems
ISO 9001 is the cornerstone of quality management in the steel structure industry. This standard ensures that organizations consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. For steel structure projects, ISO 9001 certification demonstrates a commitment to quality at every stage of production, from raw material sourcing to final delivery.
At Zhongda Steel, our ISO 9001 certification underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest quality standards. Our 120,000 m² modern facility and 60,000-ton annual capacity are governed by strict quality control measures, ensuring that every steel component meets or exceeds international benchmarks.
ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems
With increasing global focus on sustainability, ISO 14001 has become indispensable for steel structure projects. This standard provides a framework for effective environmental management systems, helping organizations minimize their environmental impact while improving resource efficiency.
Zhongda Steel's ISO 14001 certification reflects our commitment to eco-friendly practices. Our state-of-the-art facility incorporates advanced technologies to reduce waste, optimize energy consumption, and promote sustainable steel production.
ISO 3834: Quality Requirements for Fusion Welding
Welding is a critical process in steel structure fabrication, and ISO 3834 sets the standard for quality requirements in fusion welding. This comprehensive standard covers all aspects of welding operations, from personnel qualifications to equipment maintenance and quality control procedures.
Our expertise in precision welding, coupled with strict adherence to ISO 3834, enables Zhongda Steel to deliver consistently high-quality welded components for even the most demanding projects, such as Arctic bridges in Russia or mining equipment in Australia.
European Standards for Steel Structures
EN 1090: Execution of Steel Structures
EN 1090 is a crucial European standard that governs the execution of steel and aluminum structures. It specifies requirements for fabrication, including welding, mechanical fastening, and surface preparation. Compliance with EN 1090 is mandatory for CE marking of structural steel and aluminum components in the European Economic Area.
As a globally certified leader, Zhongda Steel proudly holds EN 1090 certification. This accreditation allows us to provide CE-marked steel structures for projects worldwide, ensuring our products meet the stringent requirements of the European market.
Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures
Eurocode 3 is the European standard for the design of steel structures. It provides comprehensive guidelines for structural design, covering aspects such as material properties, structural analysis, and design verifications. This standard ensures that steel structures are designed to withstand various loads and environmental conditions safely and efficiently.
Our engineering team at Zhongda Steel leverages Eurocode 3 principles in conjunction with advanced BIM-driven prefabrication techniques. This combination allows us to optimize designs for strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness, whether we're working on industrial hubs in Vietnam or complex infrastructure projects globally.
EN 10025: Hot Rolled Products of Structural Steels
EN 10025 specifies the technical delivery conditions for hot-rolled products of structural steels. This standard defines the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and testing requirements for various grades of structural steel, ensuring consistency and reliability in steel production.
At Zhongda Steel, we source our raw materials in strict accordance with EN 10025, complementing our ultra-thick plate cutting capabilities (±0.2mm precision). This adherence to international standards, combined with our cutting-edge technology, allows us to produce steel components that meet the most exacting specifications for projects worldwide.
American Standards for Steel Structures
AISC 360: Specification for Structural Steel Buildings
The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) 360 is the primary specification for structural steel buildings in the United States. It provides comprehensive guidelines for the design, fabrication, and erection of structural steel for buildings and structures.
While Zhongda Steel is headquartered in China, our global reach and adaptability allow us to conform to AISC 360 standards when required for international projects. This versatility enables us to serve clients across diverse markets, including those requiring compliance with American standards.
AWS D1.1: Structural Welding Code - Steel
The American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 standard is the benchmark for structural welding in the United States. It covers welding requirements for steel structures, including qualification, fabrication, inspection, and repair procedures.
Our welding processes at Zhongda Steel are designed to meet both international and regional standards, including AWS D1.1. This ensures that our welded components, whether for industrial facilities or infrastructure projects, meet the highest quality and safety standards across different markets.
ASTM A992: Standard Specification for Structural Steel Shapes
ASTM A992 is the standard specification for structural steel shapes, particularly wide flange shapes, used in building framing. It defines the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and testing requirements for these crucial structural elements.
Zhongda Steel's commitment to quality extends to ensuring our steel products meet various international specifications, including ASTM standards when required. Our -60°C Weathering Steel Anti-corrosion Technology, for instance, can be applied to steel grades that comply with ASTM A992, providing superior corrosion resistance for structures in harsh environments.
