The Commerce Commission let an Auckland company continue selling steel mesh after it knew the firm had forged a test certificate. Timber King kept selling mesh: between November 2015 and February 2016, it sold 1970 sheets, enough for about 100 houses. This batch was all sold before it found out about the fake certificate, the commission said. Timber King sold about 600 sheets of the first batch of mesh in mid-2015. RNZ is waiting to hear back from the council what became of the other 1970 sheets from the second batch.
