Six industries penalized for flouting standards

Kathmandu - The Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology has punished six industries for not adhering to the Nepal Standards. The decision to penalize the industries was reached after a sample taken of the goods produced by those industries showed that the quality standards were not met.

The samples were collected during a surprise monitoring carried out in the local market. The NBSM on Friday took legal action against the Reliance Supertech Cement private limited, Bara, International Cement private limited, Parsa, Everest Gas Industry private limited, Kathmandu, Agni Cement, Rupandehi, Sarbottam Cement, Nawalparasi and Kamal Rolling Mills, Morang.
