PH steel producers calling for new tests

摘要

Local steel producers are confident the Bureau of Customs will not allow the release of 5,000 metric tons of allegedly deformed steel following a request for another testing and sampling of the imported product. The Philippine Iron and Steel Institute asked the Bureau of Customs to allow a complete inventory, a thorough investigation and testing of physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the steel products to determine if they conformed to the Philippine quality standards.
