Remarks:

1. In this period, new enterprises added to the statistical units include Haicheng Hengsheng and Xiwang Metal; Bohai Group was removed from the statistical units, and its four originally subordinate enterprises are listed separately as a group; Tianjin Metallurgy did not report data, and its data from late August was used for calculation and summary.

2. According to the same caliber calculation, the daily output of pig iron and crude steel in this period increased by 4.91% and 4.08% respectively compared to the previous period, while the daily output of steel decreased by 1.28% compared to the previous period.

3. Some enterprises settle accounts only at the end of the month, which affects the sales data for this period, causing significant fluctuations compared to late August.
