New draft British standard means highest quality epoxy coated rebar for European market

The new draft British Stanard 88/44568 for fusion bonded epoxy coated rebar, currently manufactured in the UK only by Allied Bar Coaters, is the first such specification in Europe. The aim of the draft standard is to set a higher standard of manufacture for a product whose only available specification was the American ASTM A775 standard. This means that engineers will now be able to specify a product specially designed for the more demanding requirements of the European market.
