Thitiphats Chotidechachainan, head of the working group, yesterday, March 31, announced that the examination of steel samples from the collapsed building identified two non-compliant samples. The first was a 32-millimetre deformed bar from one of three companies sampled, which failed to meet the standard requirements for yield strength. The second was a 20-millimetre deformed bar with a mass per metre below standard, known as light mass steel. Both samples originated from the same company, which had previously been ordered to cease production by the Thai Industrial Standards Institute in December.
