Compliance & Certifications

At RCM, we are committed to delivering high-quality fiberglass reinforcement products that meet recognized industry standards and performance expectations. Our fiberglass rebar and mesh are manufactured under controlled conditions and are supported by applicable testing and documentation.

Standards & Specifications

Our products are produced in accordance with established industry standards for fiberglass (GFRP) reinforcement, including:

  • ASTM D7957 — Standard specification for solid round GFRP bars
  • ASTM D8505 — Standard specification for high-modulus GFRP bars

These standards define key material properties such as tensile strength, durability, and consistency. Test reports in accordance with ASTM standards can be provided upon request to support project requirements and submittals.

Engineering & Industry References

Fiberglass reinforcement is commonly used in applications designed in accordance with recognized industry guidance, including:

  • ACI 440.1R — Guide for design and construction with FRP reinforcement
  • ACI 440.11 — Code requirements for concrete reinforced with GFRP

These documents are widely referenced within the engineering community and support proper use of composite reinforcement materials.

Code Compliance & Acceptance Criteria

For projects requiring compliance documentation or evaluation pathways, fiberglass reinforcement may be reviewed under established acceptance criteria, including:

  • ICC-ES AC454 — Acceptance criteria for GFRP reinforcement
  • ICC-ES AC521 — Acceptance criteria for GFRP bars and mesh used as non-structural reinforcement in concrete
