Inventory of Relevant Standards and Regulations of Coating Industry in 2020

 In 2020, a series of safety accidents have sounded the alarm for practitioners in the chemical industry, and safety inspections at all levels from the state to the province are also being carried out vigorously. At the same time, as the concept of environmental protection has become popular, environmental protection policies have become increasingly stringent. Looking back at the first 11 months of 2020, policy documents on safe production and environmental protection have been frequently published, which also pointed out the direction for the development of the coating chemical industry , Sorted out some standards and regulations related to the coating industry, and shared them with everyone.

"Antibacterial and Antiviral Coatings" "Test Methods for Antiviral Performance of Coatings (Paint Film)"

Introduction: These two group standards break the lack of international anti-viral coating standards and will provide an effective standard and clear basis for the anti-viral coating market. The "Antibacterial and Antiviral Coatings" group standard clarifies that the antibacterial and antiviral properties of coatings should meet the requirements of antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Among them, the antiviral rate of H3N2 is required for level I antiviral performance. 99.9% or greater, and the anti-virus rate of EV71 must be greater than or equal to 95.0%. "Coating (paint film) antiviral performance test method" group standard, which stipulates the terms and definitions, test principles, reagents and materials of coating (paint film) antiviral performance test, which is suitable for coating (paint film) antiviral performance test Determination.

6 mandatory limits for hazardous substances in coatings

Introduction: According to the national standard revision plan issued by the National Standards Committee, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the completion of "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Ship Coatings", "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Indoor Floor Coatings", and "Hazardous Substances in Building Wall Coatings" There are six compulsory limits for hazardous substances in coatings, namely, "Limits", "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Industrial Protective Coatings", "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Vehicle Coatings", and "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Wood Coatings" to standardize and unify industry technical requirements.

Implementation time: Ship, indoor floor coating: July 1, 2020 ,Other: December 1, 2020

"Guidelines for the Evaluation of Green Factory in the Coatings Industry"

Introduction: A green factory refers to a factory that has achieved intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste recycling, and low-carbon energy. The "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Green Factory in the Coatings Industry" standard applies to the evaluation of "green factories" by coating companies, including water-based coatings, solvent-based coatings, powder coatings and radiation curing coating companies. The system boundary defined by the standard includes the pre-dispersion, grinding, dispersion, paint mixing, filtration, packaging, inspection, storage and other processes of paint production, and does not include processes such as the synthesis of paint resins.

"Volatile Organic Compound Emission Control Standards for Industrial Enterprises"

Introduction: This standard is the first revision since it was first published in July 2014. It is the country's first comprehensive standard covering the volatile organic compound emission industry of industrial enterprises. The standard stipulates petroleum refining and petrochemistry, coatings, inks, and VOC emission control requirements, monitoring and supervision management requirements for adhesive manufacturing, surface coating and other industries.

Implementation time: November 1, 2020

"Catalog of Safe Production Technology and Equipment for Eliminating Outdated Hazardous Chemicals (First Batch)"

Introduction: In order to speed up the elimination of outdated hazardous chemicals safe production technology and equipment, improve the intrinsic safety level of enterprises, and prevent and resolve major safety risks, the Emergency Management Department specially organized and formulated the "Catalogue of Outdated Hazardous Chemicals Safe Production Technology and Equipment (First Approval)”, which prohibits or restricts 12 process technologies with high safety risks, such as the production process of coating resin for direct heating using fire.

Issuing time: November 2, 2020

"Catalogue of Commodities Adjusted from the Prohibited Catalogue of Processing Trade"

Introduction: The Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued the Announcement No. 54 of 2020 on Adjusting the Catalog of Prohibited Products for Processing Trade. Excluding the original list of prohibited commodities for processing trade that conforms to the national industrial policy, it is not classified as high energy consumption or high energy consumption. Contaminated products and product codes with high technical content, including 199 products such as titanium dioxide, are a major benefit for the titanium dioxide industry, not only for the export of titanium dioxide from the policy loosening, but also for the domestic titanium dioxide Product declaration for export tax rebate has passed the first hurdle.

Implementation time: December 1, 2020

"Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste"

Introduction: The newly revised Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste clarifies that the prevention and control of environmental pollution by solid waste adhere to the principles of reduction, resource utilization and harmlessness. Strengthen the supervision and management responsibilities of the government and relevant departments, clarify the target responsibility system, credit records, joint prevention and control, whole-process monitoring and information traceability systems, and clarify that the country is gradually achieving zero solid waste imports, which is of great significance for fighting pollution prevention and control. .

Implementation time: September 1, 2020
