You can meet this mandate for pig iron items by making pig iron bars.  Of course, you need iron, flux, and charcoal to do that.

Indeed the mandate passed... wiki should be updated as it states that bars of that type will not full fill the mandate.

Seahorse leather, here. I mean, seriously, can you imagine the tanner trying to get leather off a half-inch-long sea vermin?

I checked out wiki and both mandate and pig iron pages to do not mention that that bars can not be usedto pass mandates.

Which page did say otherwise?

And here I thought Crundle horn is as bad as it gets. It's a bug, I think, and probably already reported.

Indeed - the page for Mandate says "Making metal items includes smelting ore to create metal bars of that type, notable for metal that can't directly be made into anything: pig iron and bismuth".

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

No.  That doesn't produce a pig iron item, it just adds decorations to some other item.  Making pig iron into steel doesn't count either.

I suspect that if you modded in a reaction that took a bar of pig iron and resulted in a bar of pig iron that would count.  Name the reaction 'show the stupid noble that we do in fact have pig iron bars' or something like that.  Can't do this in an already created world, unfortunately.
