Testing in the stainless steel industry

Stainless steel testing is the core part of product quality control, covering the entire process from raw materials to finished products. It is a crucial step to ensure product safety, compliance, and performance standards. The testing process runs through the entire chain from raw material entry to production control and before the finished products are shipped out. It is an important part of the enterprise's quality management.

Basic Overview of Stainless Steel Industry Testing

Report Validity Period: The validity period of the regular test report is 1 year. For some customers or in accordance with specific standards, the report needs to be updated every half year.

Test applicable standards: According to national/international standards (such as GB, ASTM, EN, ISO, etc.), the material, composition, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, etc. of stainless steel are tested.

Market compliance requirements: For exports to Europe and the United States, RoHS, REACH, and FDA food contact material requirements must be met; for domestic sales, safety technical specifications such as GB 4806.9 and GB/T 19292 must be followed, and there are targeted compliance thresholds for different regions.
