This standard ensures that steel manufacturers and suppliers provide clear and accurate identification of their products, enabling efficient tracking and tracing throughout the entire supply chain. By adhering to DIN 961, industry professionals can guarantee the authenticity and quality of steel materials, thereby maintaining the highest level of quality control and reducing the risk of counterfeit products. As a result, this standard plays a vital role in upholding the integrity of the steel industry, fostering trust among suppliers, manufacturers, and consumers alike.
