Ensuring Quality and Reliability: The Standards Behind Our GFRP Rebar

In the rapidly evolving world of construction, durability and innovation go hand in hand. At GFRP India, we are proud to lead this transformation by introducing Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebars — the sustainable, corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional steel reinforcement.

Today, GFRP rebars are not just the material of the future — they are the standard of quality, performance, and reliability approved by the Government of India.

🌍 Our Global Partnership: Composite Tech (Europe) + GFRP India

To ensure we deliver world-class quality, GFRP India has proudly partnered with Composite Tech, a leading European manufacturer of advanced pultrusion and GFRP rebar production machinery.

This exclusive partnership brings European precision, automation, and consistency to India’s growing infrastructure and construction sector. Together, we aim to make India self-reliant (Atmanirbhar) in producing internationally approved, high-performance GFRP rebars.

Through this collaboration:

• GFRP India brings European technology and Indian compliance together.
• Our manufacturing follows BIS and IRC standards.
• Every rebar we produce is tested, certified, and traceable to meet national benchmarks for safety and performance.

🏗️ Government-Approved Standards That Define Our Quality

At GFRP India, quality isn’t an option — it’s the foundation of everything we produce. Our rebars conform to all Government of India–approved standards, ensuring safety, strength, and reliability for every project.

Here are the key standards that our products comply with:

🔹 IS 18256 : 2023

Title: Solid Round Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Bars for Concrete Reinforcement — SpecificationIssued by: Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)This is India’s primary specification for GFRP rebars, outlining manufacturing requirements, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, and quality tests. GFRP India fully adheres to this standard to ensure every rebar meets strength and performance requirements.

🔹 IS 18255 : 2023

Title: Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bars for Concrete Reinforcement — Methods of TestIssued by: BISThis standard defines how GFRP rebars should be tested — including tensile strength, shear, bond performance, and environmental durability. All our products are tested in accordance with IS 18255 : 2023 in certified laboratories to guarantee consistent quality.

🔹 IRC 137-2022

Title: Guidelines on Use of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Bars in Road ProjectsIssued by: Indian Roads Congress (IRC)This guideline officially recognizes GFRP rebars as a suitable reinforcement material for bridges, highways, and other road infrastructure. GFRP India’s rebars are fully compatible with the performance requirements laid out in IRC 137-2022.

🧩 Why Standards Matter

Government-approved standards ensure that:

• Every GFRP bar performs predictably in structural applications.
• Long-term durability and corrosion resistance meet India’s diverse climatic conditions.
• Engineers, contractors, and government agencies can trust GFRP India’s products for critical projects.

By following these standards, GFRP India ensures uniformity, safety, and reliability — whether in bridges, metros, tunnels, or coastal structures.

💡 Innovation Through Compliance

Our partnership with Composite Tech gives GFRP India a unique advantage:

• Fully automated pultrusion and rebar winding machines.
• Precision bending and shaping capabilities for stirrups and hooks.
• Advanced quality control systems aligned with European and Indian test protocols.

This blend of global technology and national compliance ensures that every product we deliver is future-ready, tested, and certified.
