KPF Becomes First in Korea to Obtain KS Certification for 'T/S High-Tensile Bolts for Structures'

KPF has become the first company in Korea to obtain KS product certification for 'T/S High-Tensile Bolts for Structures.'

According to KPF on October 1, this certification is the first to be awarded since KS B 2819 was designated as a subject for KS product certification. The standard was established in 2003, and the product certification screening criteria were set on April 7, 2026. KPF's Chungju plant became the first in Korea to acquire this certification, and it has also been registered in the list of certified companies published by the KS Certification Institutes Council.

KS B 2819 is a national standard that regulates the quality and performance of T/S high-tensile bolt sets used in steel structures such as bridges, steel frames, and plants. This product uses a combination of bolt, nut, and washer as a single set. During installation, the pintail at the end of the bolt is designed to snap off once a certain force is reached. This structure helps ensure that the fastening condition can be easily checked visually in the field and makes it easier to maintain a consistent fastening force.

A KPF official stated, "The significance of this KS B 2819 certification lies in the official recognition of our manufacturing technology and quality control capability for structural high-tensile bolts," and added, "We will continue to supply customers with high-quality fasteners and fastening solutions they can trust by strengthening technology development and our quality competitiveness."
