Kuwait imports most of the steel it uses, for construction, infrastructure and its oil and gas industry.
Its stockists, traders and fabricators are concentrated in the industrial areas of Kuwait City, around Shuwaikh and its port.
Who sets steel standards in Kuwait, and the conformity rules for steel and its import.
The Standards and Metrology Department of the Public Authority for Industry (PAI) issues Kuwaiti standards and conformity certificates for local and imported products, and administers the Kuwaiti Quality Mark.
Under Decision No. 20/2024, reinforcing bars must carry the Kuwaiti Quality Mark to be approved for use, alongside other key building materials.

Steel reinforcing bars are a regulated product under PAI’s conformity assurance scheme for imports (KUCAS): each consignment needs the scheme’s TER and TIR documents to clear Kuwaiti customs.
As a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Kuwait works with the GCC Standardization Organization (GSO). GSO’s current Gulf standards for reinforcing bars include GSO ASTM A615/A615M:2023 and GSO ISO 6935-2:2022 (ribbed bars).
