Wire rods inspection ensures quality control at different stages of the logistics chain, minimizing trade risks associated with specification deviations, discrepancies in quantity, or incomplete documentation for export and import operations.

CISS GROUP provides wire rods inspection services for major metallurgical holdings, processing plants, scrap steel suppliers, and international metal trading companies. These services cover procurement, storage, loading, and unloading at intermediate warehouses and global ports.

Wire rods inspection includes visual cargo assessment and verification of accompanying quality documentation. Each batch must have a quality certificate specifying the cooling method used for the wire rods and must be labeled with two marking tags on the coils.

Accredited inspectors and laboratory technicians from CISS GROUP conduct inspections at every stage of the supply chain.

The main stages of wire rods inspection:

Incoming and outgoing wire rods inspection

This stage includes procurement, delivery to warehouses or ports, and removal from metallurgical plants. CISS GROUP inspectors assess storage conditions, verify packaging integrity, confirm the presence of required documentation, and inspect labeling on coils. The outer layers of coils are checked to ensure there is no entanglement, overlapping, or sticking. The wire rod surface is inspected for visual damage, and diameter measurements and sample collections are performed.

Container and vessel hold cleanliness inspection

A visual inspection ensures the cleanliness and suitability of containers and vessel holds for wire rods transportation. Inspectors examine internal surfaces, assess the integrity of locks, hinges, and fasteners, and check rubber seals on container doors and hold covers.

Loading process monitoring and sampling

During loading, inspectors oversee operations, confirm gross and net weight, and conduct weight checks using the draft survey method. They monitor the fumigation process, visually assess cargo quality, and collect samples according to international sampling standards. At the end of loading, inspectors seal containers or holds and document findings in real-time reports. CISS GROUP provides 24/7 inspection and sampling services.

Laboratory analysis of wire rods quality

Quality testing is conducted exclusively in accredited laboratories following international contractual standards.

• Surface quality assessment is conducted through external examination of the outer turns of the coils.
• Mechanical tests include torsion testing, electrical resistivity analysis, and cross-sectional area measurement.
• Chemical composition analysis determines the mass fractions of silicon, iron, copper, titanium, zinc, manganese, magnesium, chromium, vanadium, and sodium.
• Ferrite grain size measurement can be performed upon the buyer’s request.

Photo and video reporting

Each inspection stage is documented through photographs and videos, timestamped for accuracy. Upon completion, CISS GROUP provides a detailed photo report covering all inspection and control stages.

Certification

Following the inspection, final certificates or reports are issued. Clients can verify document authenticity via a unique QR code, granting access to digital certificates on the CISS GROUP website. Digital cryptographic signatures ensure security and reliability.

Digitally signed certificates are often required by banks for trade financing verification, particularly in letter-of-credit transactions.
