Length: Standard lengths produced are 6, 12 an 13 Mtrs. Other lengths can be produced on request in increments of 1M. There is length tolerance of -0 and +50mm.

Certification: Force Steels is duly approved to put the SABS mark on all reinforcing steel bars. All material sold would supplied with relevant Chemical and Mechanical test certificates.

Packing: All reinforcing steel 12 and 13mts lenght size is packed in +/- 2MT Bundles and 6mts lenght in +/- 1.5MT Bundles. Bundles come with identification tag providing information as regards the Size, Length, Grade and Batch number of the Bundle.

Branding: To easily Identify the bars manufactured by Force Steels, all bars are individually marked with letter “F” at regular
intervals along with the diameter of the bar. (Please refer to picture below)

Labeling: All bundles are securely strapped with steel straps and come with water proof printed tags showing the below
information. It is recommended that such tags are safely kept once the bundles are opened for Tracability purposes.
