ISO 27830
ISO 27830:2017 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that defines a unified system of numerical identification for metallic products. It ensures consistency, traceability, and interoperability across various stages of the product lifecycle — from raw material to end use. This standard plays a critical role in industries such as construction, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and heavy engineering, where accurate material identification is essential for quality assurance and compliance.
At Quality Asia Certification, we offer globally recognized ISO 27830:2017 certification services to help manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors demonstrate their adherence to standardized practices in metal product identification and traceability.

What is ISO 27830?
ISO 27830:2017 – Metallic Products – Types of Inspection Documents and Traceability Requirements outlines a system that assigns unique identification numbers to metallic products. This numerical system helps in maintaining detailed records of the product’s origin, composition, manufacturing processes, and supply chain journey.
It is especially useful in ensuring transparency and traceability in international trade, regulatory compliance, and customer assurance. The standard applies to various forms of metallic products including bars, rods, sheets, coils, wires, and tubes.
Why is ISO 27830 important?
With globalization, metal products often move across continents and undergo several processing stages. ISO 27830:2017 ensures these products remain traceable and identifiable throughout their lifecycle, which is vital for:
- Meeting regulatory and customer requirements.
- Maintaining supply chain transparency.
- Supporting product recalls or investigations, if needed.
- Aligning with industry best practices in quality and safety management.
Organizations that comply with ISO 27830 reduce the risk of mismatched materials, counterfeits, and regulatory penalties, thereby strengthening trust with buyers and regulators.
What are the benefits of ISO 27830?
- Global Traceability: Enables seamless tracking of metallic products from raw material to end use.
- Standardized Documentation: Harmonizes inspection documents, reducing ambiguity and enhancing clarity.
- Regulatory Compliance: Supports alignment with EU, US, and other international regulations on material identification.
