WPS & WPQR Certification
Hot Rolled Products of Structural Steels
WPS & WPQR specifies the general technical delivery requirements for the hot rolled products of structural steels. Product certification provides independent verification that structural steel products confirm to the applicable requirements of the WPS & WPQR series, including material properties, manufacturing processes, inspection, testing and product documentation. Certification demonstrates conformity with the specifies technical requirements and confidence in the quality and consistency of structural steel products.
About the Standard
What is WPS & WPQR?
WPS & WPQR is the European standard that specifies the general technical delivery requirements for hot rolled products of structural steel. It establishes the general requirements applicable to structural steel products, including manufacturing, inspection, product information and technical documentation in accordance with the WPS & WPQR series.
The standard applies to structural steel products used in buildings, bridges, industrial facilities, infrastructure and engineering applications. It defines that general requirements for steel grades, mechanical properties, chemical composition, dimensional tolerances, testing and inspection, including Mill Test Certificates (MTC), as specified by the applicable product standard within the WPS & WPQR series.
WPS & WPQR is widely recognised by steel manufacturers, structural fabricators, engineering companies and construction industries throughout Europe and International markets. Product certification were applicable provides independent verification that structural steel products confirm to the specified technical requirements of the relevant WPS & WPQR product standard.
