Bend/Rebend Test result on Mill Test Certificate

Bend/Rebend Test result on Mill Test Certificate

(OP)
Ladies/Gentlemen,
I am presently working in Luanda Angola as a Resident Engineer on a construction Project. The Contractor has submitted Mill Test Certificates in order to verify if the reinforcing steel Ø 20mm and Ø32mm satisfies the requirements of BS 4449 Grade 460.
In terms of the Geometric Properties, Mechanical Properties and Chemical Properties all the results are satisfactory. However on the Test certificate of Steel from Spain, the result for the Bend-Rebend test is stated as "B" which I have no idea what that signifies. Also on steel from Brazil the result for the Bend-Rebend Test is shown as "Y". Could anyone explain what "B" and "Y" signify? Has the test passed or not?
I am familiar that the results for such a test is usually stated as "OK" or "Passed" or "No visual sign of Cracking".
Thank you all.
Joe.

Why don't you contact the mill directly? This will be the correct source for this information.

Thank you, I thought I would try and see if I could get a response on this site first. Wanting to avoid the complications of perhaps trying to communicate in Spanish or Portuguese.

Joe, don't you have a copy of 4449?
If you are receiving this material you need one.

In fact I do have a copy of BS 4449 but is of no help in this case, nowhere does it say that result of such a test is classified as "B" or "Y". I have just sent an email to the testing companies in Spain requesting clarification. Thank you for your help.
