Standards and Quality Administration Returns 26 Tons of Substandard Angle Iron

The Standards and Quality Administration has returned approximately 26 tons of substandard angle iron to the exporting country via the Islam Qala port.

The return occurred after comprehensive examinations determined that the materials did not meet domestic standards for building supplies.

The administration emphasized its policy of transparent, orderly and decisive quality control at all ports, stating there is no flexibility for substandard imports.

Such materials can harm citizens' health and safety, officials said, making strict enforcement essential.

Traders and importers are urged to comply with the standards and to fulfill their moral responsibility to ensure a high-quality market.

The administration said the action was taken to ensure the security of domestic markets and to protect consumer rights.

This decision reflects the commitment to preventing substandard building materials from entering the country through any port.

By maintaining rigorous checks, the authorities aim to safeguard the public and the integrity of construction projects across Afghanistan.

The administration continues to call on the business community to respect these regulations in all their import activities.

This is to avoid similar returns in the future and to contribute positively to the Afghan economy and safety standards.
