PC Headed Bars Achieves AFCAB & CARES Certifications

Posted on by Kansuda Visesthanakorn

We are thrilled to announce that our new generation of PC (Pressed Connection) Headed Bars has received certification from both AFCAB in France and CARES in the UK!

AFCAB has certified our model 9D (double chamfer) for general applications. Meanwhile, the CARES TA1-B&C certificate no. 5071 has certified both our models 9D and 9A (single chamfer). These CARES certifications cover a wide range of applications, including general and nuclear construction, showcasing the exceptional performance of Dextra’s product solutions.

Dextra PC Headed Bars, ranging from 10mm to 20mm, feature a circular plate forged to the end of the reinforcing bar. The headed bars meet Eurocode requirements with a load-bearing area at least 9 times the cross-section of the reinforcement bar.

Note

  • The previous UK Cares certification is now renamed to CARES.
  • CARES certification does not cover seismic performance. TA1-B is designated for general applications, while TA1-C is for nuclear applications.
  • The headed bars meet Eurocode requirements concerning load-bearing area.
