Inner Mongolia-based Chinese steelmaker Baotou Iron and Steel (Baogang) has announced that its structural seamless steel pipe has been successfully approved within the scope of the European Union’s Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

Products approved within the scope of the PED and CPR can be sold in EU member states without having to conform to the specific standards of each member state.
