This NACE standard practice provides owners, architects, engineers, and contractors with specific information and guidelines for obtaining and installing properly cleaned and coated steel reinforcing bars. The standard defines the requirements for fusion-bonded epoxy powder coatings applied by electrostatic spray, or other suitable method, to deformed and plain steel reinforcing bars that are intended for fabrication after coating. The standard includes requirements and guidelines for ordering, cleaning, coating, inspecting, handling, transporting, and installing the reinforcing bars.
