The Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has suspended the manufacturing permits of Chinese steel maker Rongtai on claims of substandard ribbed bars following a market surveillance conducted by the agency.

In a public notice on Tuesday, Kebs said it had seized substandard products from the firm’s premises and from the market, in addition to directing the company to immediately halt production of non-compliant ribbed bars.
