DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA
DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS
Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which comprise
balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with relevant interests, as
may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest extent possible, Malaysian
Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international standards. Approval of a standard as
a Malaysian Standard is governed by the Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549]. Malaysian
Standards are reviewed periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so
far as they are made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-
laws or any other similar ways.
Revision: A process where existing Malaysian Standard is reviewed and updated which
resulted in the publication of a new edition of the Malaysian Standard.
Confirmed MS: A Malaysian Standard that has been reviewed by the responsible committee
and confirmed that its contents are current.
Technical corrigendum: A corrected reprint of the current edition which is issued to correct
either a technical error or ambiguity in a Malaysian Standard inadvertently introduced either in
drafting or in printing and which could lead to incorrect or unsafe application of the publication.
NOTE: Technical corrigenda are not to correct errors which can be assumed to have no consequences in the application
of the MS, for example minor printing errors.
STANDARDS MALAYSIA has appointed SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop, distribute
and sell Malaysian Standards.

Foreword
This Malaysian Standard was developed by the Technical Committee on Steel Bars, Wire
Rods and Wire Products under the authority of the Industry Standards Committee on Metallic
Materials and Semi-finished Products.
a) the title of this standard has been amended from Hot-rolled steel bars for the
reinforcement of concrete - Specification to Steel for the reinforcement of concrete -
Weldable reinforcing steel - Bar, coil and decoiled product - Specification; and
This standard has been developed so that it can be used in conjunction with MS EN
10080:2013. Definitions, symbols, steelmaking and manufacturing processes, routine
inspection and testing, test methods, identification of the manufacturer and technical class and
verification of mechanical properties in the case of dispute are all taken from MS EN
10080:2013.
This Malaysian Standard cancels and replaces MS 146:2006, Hot rolled steel bars for the
reinforcement of concrete - Specification (Third revision).
Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal
obligations.
