The forum, themed 'New Era, New Technology, New Equipment, New Education – Innovating Educational Technology Equipment to Build a Silk Road Educational High Ground,' aimed to facilitate collaboration between schools and education equipment companies. It featured in-depth discussions on new equipment, technologies, and products in the educational sector. The event also invited representatives from education equipment departments in the five northwest provinces of China, other regions in Shaanxi Province, district and county education bureau directors, school principals, and leading manufacturers of high-quality educational equipment and sports facilities.
The first new national standard rubber track testing report for Shaanxi was released.
At this forum, Professor Lin Fanqiu, a special appointee professor at Peking University, a councilor of the China Sports Goods Federation, and a senior engineer, interpreted the GB36246-2018 National Mandatory Standard for Synthetic Material Surface Layers in School Sports Fields. The meeting reported on the first ETPU breathable running track project in Xi'an that met the national standard, which was completed by Shaanxi Minlin Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., a local company. This report includes chemical and physical performance indicators of the finished product, as well as test results for key concerns such as impact absorption, adhesive VOCs, TVOC of the finished product, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carbon disulfide, and odor assessment. All tests met the GB36246-2018 standard requirements, with many values significantly exceeding the new national standards. This has given confidence to the Shaanxi education system to implement the new standards. The GB36246-2018 National Mandatory Standard for Synthetic Material Surface Layers in School Sports Fields was released on May 14, 2018, and took effect on November 1, 2018. The new era of national standards has begun, and companies should focus more on the construction of sports field facilities to ensure the quality and safety of green school sports fields.
