Campus Green Sports Field Development: Expert Seminar
Development Seminar: DBC Group Chairman Lin Fanqiu analyzed the data objectively, discussing how to provide services for campus safety construction.
The new national standard GB36246-2018 'Synthetic Material Surface Layers for Sports Fields in Primary and Secondary Schools' was proposed and overseen by the Ministry of Education. It was drafted by the Ministry of Education Equipment Research and Development Center. This standard, based on extensive and detailed data, is both professional and scientific, and its implementation will significantly enhance the construction level and product quality of green sports fields for campuses, ensuring the health of all primary and secondary school students. It also signals a commitment to high-quality industry development, technological advancement, and self-regulation.
After over two years of preparation and formulation, the release of this standard is a significant event for society and the industry. It represents not only unified norms but also the direction and hope for the industry. The release of the new national standard heralds a new development cycle for the industry. Let us uphold quality, integrity, and dreams, working together to promote the healthy and sustainable development of sports field materials, contributing to the quality construction of green campuses in China.
The Ministry of Education held a seminar on the interpretation of the standard, providing nationwide education systems with an understanding of sports field products and standards. This will help schools purchase accurate and reliable running tracks, enhancing communication among producers, users, and regulators.
For campus sports fields, the new national standard serves as a benchmark for measurement; for the industry, it drives technological progress. It not only addresses the issue of low-price bidding but also acts as a new engine for industry development and a catalyst for quality upgrades.
Without rules, one cannot make squares or circles. The healthy development of the sports field materials industry should be based on standards, with enhanced guidance, regulation, and accountability. For enterprises, they must focus on improving product quality and enhancing technological innovation to build core competitiveness and enter a broader development space and platform.
Education administrators across the country are showing high enthusiasm for learning—well done!
More than 350 officials from education management departments across various provinces and cities attended the meeting.
Lin Fanqiu, one of the standard drafters, stated that based on international experience in standard setting, no standard can solve all problems. It is still necessary for practitioners to maintain self-discipline and continuous improvement, ensuring quality control in production processes and standardized operations during construction technology procedures. Enterprises must take full responsibility for the final product quality.
In the current era of thriving youth sports in China, implementing updated quality standards for sports venue construction holds epoch-making significance. 'In the future, technology will continue to advance, and so will the standards. Let us together uphold this sustainable endeavor and safeguard the health and sports activities of Chinese youth, as well as the green campus construction quality for sustainable development.'
