Tests on Chinese rebar have found some batches are not compliant with British Standards.
The news will alarm contractors following a surge in imported rebar used on sites across the country. And it has prompted a warning from the British Association of Reinforcement to all its members. The association said: “As the focal point for the UK reinforcement industry, BAR has a duty to forward this information to its members and to advise them to always check rebar material for British Standard compliance.”
