Xin Ke Yuan steel company's 20mm rebar samples failed "mass value per meter" tests for the second time, confirming earlier results.
These failed test results will be submitted to the Department of Special Investigation as evidence in the ongoing probe into the SAO building collapse.
While 32mm rebar from the same manufacturer passed its second round of tests, the Ministry of Industry is considering revoking Xin Ke Yuan's operating license if its rebar is proven substandard.
