The launch ceremony for the first batch of 'Shanghai Standards', hosted by the Shanghai Market Supervision Administration, was successfully held in the multi-functional hall of the administration. The T/SHHJ000003-2018 group standard for 'Limitation of Harmful Substances in Synthetic Surface Layers of School Sports Fields', led by DBC Group's New Material Technology Co., Ltd. and released by the Shanghai Chemical Building Materials Industry Association, has successfully obtained the first batch of 'Shanghai Standards' label.
In April 2020, the evaluation pilot program for 'Shanghai Standards' was fully launched with the aim of cultivating and establishing a high-level standard cluster, enhancing the recognizability of high-level standards, building the 'Shanghai Standards' brand, and boosting its international influence. After units voluntarily applied, underwent form review, professional preliminary evaluation, and professional final evaluation, 10 standards were successfully selected as 'Shanghai Standards' over a period of six months, covering multiple fields such as financial services, public services, integrated circuits, new materials, and major equipment. The group standard for 'Limitation of Harmful Substances in Synthetic Surface Layers of School Sports Fields' was among them.
The group standard for 'Limitation of Harmful Substances in Synthetic Surface Layers of School Sports Fields' (referred to as the 'Shanghai Group Standard') is a prime example of both. This standard was quickly developed and updated following public attention on 'problematic sports fields' in 2015. After its release, it was widely applied across the country, driving technological advancements in the industry, setting a benchmark for group standard implementation, and ensuring the health and safety of schoolchildren.

The Shanghai group standard was once described as the 'strictest to date' for school synthetic tracks because it set stringent limits on the types and release levels of hazardous substances in raw materials and finished surfaces.
This standard has been widely applied in Shanghai and across the country since its release, providing crucial technical support for quickly addressing the out-of-control situation of harmful substances in school sports field surface layers, thereby ensuring the health and safety of millions of primary and secondary school students.
