Mexico has published its preliminary national standards process for iron and steel products used in the construction industry as PROY-NOM-251-SE-2020 in its federal registry Diario Oficial de la Federación. The consultation for public comment is accessible for 60 business days. The initial draft was approved as part of a process that began on October 23, 2020.
The draft establishes the specifications, test methods, and conformity assessments, for all iron and steel products used in the construction segment whether domestically manufactured, imported, or commercialized through the country. Some are in reference to previous legislation and other specifications have been updated.
