Structural

I am working on a retrofit project at a plant in Brazil. The existing drawings given to us appear to have Canadian steel shapes (W150x13, W200x28.8, etc.). Is this common in South America? If not do they use other countries steel or do they have their own set of structural shapes? What is the steel design code in this country? Thanks...
