Which Code to Choose for Export Steel Structures? Guide to GB, ASTM, EN and AS Standards

For global engineering markets, the adopted steel structure code is critical for project compliance. 

GB is the Chinese national standard for domestic projects; ASTM is widely used across American markets; EN European standards apply to EU and many African projects; AS Australian standards are common in Australia and New Zealand. 

These standards differ in material strength, weld requirements, load values and inspection rules. Confirm the applicable code before production. 

Reliable manufacturers select materials, fabricate and inspect strictly in line with required standards to ensure local acceptance.
