Certification
Epoxy Coating Plant Certification
CRSI's fusion-bonded epoxy coating applicator plant certification is a voluntary industry-sponsored program — extremely effective at improving the quality of epoxy-coated rebar.
A certified plant and its employees are trained, equipped, and capable of producing high quality epoxy-coated reinforcing bars. The plants are randomly inspected, a minimum of once a year, by an independent third party. The purpose of CRSI's plant certification program is to:
- Help plants produce and deliver high quality material
- Improve plant operations
- Recognize excellence
The certification program is based on meeting ASTM standard specifications for epoxy-coated reinforcing bar. Components of the CRSI certification program are more stringent than ASTM. Areas evaluated in the program include:
- Quality control policies and procedures
- Handling and storage practices
- Surface preparation
- Curing
- Holiday testing
- Thickness measurement
- Adhesion testing
