China News Service, August 11. According to the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have jointly issued the "Notice on Accelerating the Promotion of Green Building Materials Product Certification and Production Application" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). The "Notice" proposes to accelerate the promotion of green building materials product certification on the basis of the preliminary green building materials evaluation work, include 51 products such as building doors and windows and accessories into the scope of green building materials product certification, and implement grading certification in accordance with the requirements of the "Implementation Plan".

  According to reports, according to the "Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the General Office of the General Administration of Market Supervision on Printing and Distributing the Implementation Plan for Green Building Materials Product Certification" (City Supervision Certification [2019] No. 61, hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan" ") requires that the three departments jointly carry out to accelerate the promotion of green building materials product certification and production and application work.

  The "Notice" proposes to expand the scope of certification of green building materials products. On the basis of the preliminary evaluation of green building materials, accelerate the promotion of green building materials product certification, include 51 products such as building doors, windows and accessories into the scope of green building materials product certification, and implement grading certification in accordance with the requirements of the "Implementation Plan". According to industry development and certification requirements, the three departments will also include other building materials products into the scope of implementation in due course.

  The "Notice" requires that the approved certification body shall formulate the corresponding product certification implementation rules in accordance with the "General Rules for the Implementation of Green Building Materials Product Classification Certification" and file it with the CNCA. Certified products should follow the "Administrative Measures for the Use of Green Product Labels" (Announcement No. 20 of 2019 of the State Administration for Market Supervision) and the "Administrative Measures for the Evaluation and Labeling of Green Building Materials" (Jianke [2014] No. 75). Green product identification, and mark the classification results.

  Existing green building materials evaluation agencies shall stop accepting applications for green building materials evaluation for corresponding products within the scope of certification from the date of obtaining the certification qualification for green building materials products. From May 1, 2021, the green building materials evaluation agency ceases to carry out all green building materials evaluation services.

  The "Notice" clarified that the establishment of a green building material product certification technical committee. Establish a green building material product certification technical committee to provide decision-making consultation and technical support for green building material product certification. The secretariat is located in China Building Materials Industry Planning and Research Institute and is responsible for the daily work of the technical committee.

  The "Notice" mentioned the cultivation of green building materials demonstration enterprises and demonstration bases. The competent departments of industry and information technology shall establish a catalogue of green building materials products, and cultivate green building materials production demonstration enterprises and demonstration bases. The provincial-level industry and information authorities will strengthen the connection with downstream users and organize project reporting according to different geographical characteristics and market needs. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organizes experts to review and publicize the application materials. The specific application time and requirements will be notified separately.

  The "Notice" pointed out that the promotion and application of green building materials should be accelerated. The competent department of housing and urban-rural construction relies on the comprehensive information management platform for building energy conservation and green building to build a green building materials application database, and certified enterprises or certification agencies submit applications for storage. The provincial-level housing and urban-rural construction authorities should perform their functions and do a good job in the supervision and management of storage building materials products. The provincial-level housing and urban-rural construction authorities should formulate green building materials certification promotion and application plans based on actual conditions, and encourage the use of green building materials in green building, prefabricated buildings and other engineering construction projects to give priority to the use of green building materials in the application database.

  The "Notice" requires strengthening the supervision and management of green building materials product certification and production application. Market supervision, housing and urban-rural construction, industry and information departments at all levels have strengthened the supervision of green building materials product certification and production and application within their respective functions. Any violation of laws and regulations shall be strictly investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law.
