The experts in testing testing rebar by product certification, CE marking (ISO 17660) or national regulations.
Independent laboratory testing and technical consultancy within the scope of applicable standards, accreditation and agreed test programs.
Cutting and bending companies and concrete factories that produce reinforcement for the concrete industry must carry out periodic tests prescribed by product certification, CE marking (ISO 17660) or national regulations.
For the production of reinforced concrete elements, not only the quality of the concrete itself is crucial — the reinforcement also plays a decisive role. Reinforcing steel must meet strict mechanical and performance requirements such as yield strength, tensile strength, ductility, and proper bond with the concrete.
Only reinforcement that complies with the prescribed standards ensures the safety, durability, and load-bearing capacity of concrete structures.
At Concrefy, we perform all required reinforcement tests for companies worldwide — in accordance with international standards and certification guidelines. Beyond the testing itself, our services are designed to completely relieve our customers of all administrative and technical tasks, providing a smooth and compliant testing process from start to finish.
Via our web portal myConcrefy, manufacturers can use a secure login to keep track of the planning of periodic checks of straightening lines and also monitor the status of welders and welding machines via a welders list. The portal automatically calculates the dates on which tests must be carried out and the customer periodically receives an e-mail message with a reminder for the next tests to be carried out.
The customer can register a new test through the portal by selecting the required machine or welder and create a test assignment for this. A handy wizard guides the customer through the registration process. This also results in a specification of the samples to be taken, which is aligned to the applicable regulations and the bar diameters used by the customer. A sample guide form is created automatically, which the customer can use for internal communication during sampling. The samples are labelled by the customer with the identification number of the order and then placed in the Concrefy sample box.
We ensure that samples for tests registered by the customer and sent by the customer or collected by us are tested as quickly as possible once they are available.
The reports are then published on our web portal. The customer automatically receives an email notification as soon as the reports are online, and the next testing date for the machine or welder is also calculated automatically.
In the web portal, the reports can be accessed easily via the welder list or the planning overview for the straightening lines.
“With an efficient web portal, our customers always have an overview of the status of their tests so that they can concentrate on their daily routine. The portal warns when tests have to be carried out. After registering the samples, we ensure that they are quickly collected, tested and results reported. If deviations are found, we help our client improve their process. If you would like to know more about our services, please contact me.”
