RIZHAO STEEL Passed Special Clearances of EU Products

       

        On April 22nd, the auditors of LRQA did special clearances on the European standard products produced from RIZHAO STEEL CO., LTD, including band steel and section steel products. It turned out that our products entirely met the standard of EU and passed special clearances.

        In the earlier stage, the Chromium content in Chinese steel products within the scope of  the EN10025-2:2004, which were sold to European market, was higher than the top limit specified in the European EN10020 Standard. The European CE signs and the identification numbers of LRQA was also misused on the steel products. Therefore emerged complaints of European market to LRQA. LRQA had to re-checked all Chinese steel enterprises on these issues.

       Experts from LRQA carefully checked certified CE data of our enterprise at the beginning of 2007 and the experimental data of heavy sections extending certification in 2014, did extraction experiments on site, and finally confirmed that the content of Chromium met standards set by EU. In order to avoid this kind of legal risk, LRQA required that Rizhao Steel should strictly control the content of all kinds of elements in our products sold to European market and make sure products completely meet the standard of EN10025 Series.
