Afghanistan Returns 25 Tonnes of Substandard Izogam to Exporter

The Afghanistan Standards and Quality Authority (ASQA) is demonstrating its commitment to safeguarding the nation's infrastructure by rigorously inspecting imported construction materials. This decisive action, returning over 25 tonnes of substandard izogam to the exporting country, underscores ASQA's zero-tolerance policy towards low-quality goods. The authority's continuous and strict quality control measures at border crossings like Sheikh Abu Nasr Farahi and Islam Qala are crucial for ensuring that only materials meeting national standards enter Afghanistan. This proactive stance not only protects consumers and the integrity of construction projects but also signals to international suppliers that Afghanistan will not be a dumping ground for inferior products. The recent rejection of 70 tonnes of scrap iron further reinforces ASQA's dedication to upholding quality across all imported materials, building a more secure and reliable future for the country.
