Puyat Steel decries entry of low-quality Chinese steel roofing

Puyat Steel Corp., the country’s pioneer in steel roof manufacturing, decried once more the entry of Chinese steel roof imports, saying that these substandard GI and pre-painted steel sheets have failed to meet standards set by the International Standards Organization (ISO).

Enrique Chuidian, general manager of Puyat Steel, said that tests conducted by the Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC) show that galvanized coatings for some of these Chinese products “are so low that they are not even half the ISO standards” being followed by most countries.
