The use of natural stone products as building materials and building decoration materials not only has a long history in China and the world, but also has become an indispensable product of modern urban construction and interior decoration. Since natural stone products are processed by cold processing, unlike building materials such as cement, glass, ceramics, bricks and the like, high-temperature calcination of industrial furnaces is required, which is also the lowest energy consumption in building materials. According to the statistics of authoritative departments, the energy consumption of industrial added value of stone products is far lower than that of other building materials. At the same time, the stone recycling industry, the use of stone scraps to produce stone mosaics, the use of stone powder to produce artificial stone and other stone green industrial chains have been formed, and stone products have become green products in line with national energy conservation and emission reduction policies. It is worth mentioning that many of the materials used in the 2010 Shanghai World Expo use stone materials, especially the China National Pavilion. The steps, handrails and floors are made of granite. The steps are almost all made of “Huaxia Grey†flowers. Made of granite, it has a black and white effect.
Due to the market demand, since 2007, China's natural decorative stone ranks first in the world in terms of total production, total exports, total exports and total imports. The development of China's stone industry has grown at a double-digit rate every year and has become an indispensable force in the international stone market. According to incomplete statistics, the main export markets of China's stone are the European Union, the United States and South Korea. Europe is the primary consumer of stone, and Italy and Germany use twice as much stone each year as China. European-style stone, especially in the current Central Europe region, is very popular. Every year, the demand for stone in Europe exceeds 25 million tons, accounting for more than 50% of the world's stone demand. In addition, the Middle East, Far East, the United States and India are also the main markets for imported stone.
With the gradual improvement of the EU unified market, the vast majority of products involving health, safety and environmental protection have been forcibly listed as “must carry the CE mark, otherwise it is not allowed to enter the EU market circulationâ€, and stone is also among them. As early as 2001, the European Union has established CE standards (EN1341, EN1342, EN1343) for natural stone for outdoor paving purposes, with the aim of regulating and monitoring such products entering the EU market in terms of safety, environmental protection and energy conservation. . In 2004, the European Union introduced the CE standards (EN12057, EN12058) for natural stone for indoor steps and floor use, specification panels and veneers, and subsequently improved the CE standard EN 12326 for tiles. Certification of building products in the CE certification system must comply with the provisions of the Building Products Directive (CPD).
In recent years, due to the increase in cost and quality caused by price and labor costs, and the lack of understanding of European and American regulations, it has replaced the initial sales pressure to become the biggest problem faced by domestic stone enterprises. In order to seize a larger share of the EU market, China's stone enterprises must prepare early and obtain CE certification as soon as possible. Only by adapting to the EU's standard requirements at an early date can we take the initiative in the increasingly fierce market competition and win the ideal profit and development space. Regrettably, most export companies have long lacked sufficient understanding of the EU's CE standards, and few institutions have provided such professional training. Therefore, although these standards have already been implemented in the European Union, they have not received their due understanding and attention in such a world's largest stone exporting country.
In view of this, SGS Industry Department set up a building materials laboratory in China, providing stone CE certification for China's stone enterprises, one-stop testing service according to EU EN standards, American ASTM standards and China GB standards. In view of the fact that most enterprises are unfamiliar with European and American regulations and standards, SGS also regularly organizes related seminars and exchanges to provide enterprises with the latest information and professional training. In the short period of time since its establishment, the Building Materials Laboratory has provided comprehensive testing and professional certification services to companies such as Gao Shi, Wan Li Shi, Jing Yue, Xu Dong, Xin Fei Hua, etc. based on SGS global network resources. Become a solid backing to help its stone exports. At the same time, SGS Building Materials Laboratory has also been recognized by European and American buyers, and has cooperated with AMC, Weatherwise, RAS, etc., and has been widely introduced by German professional media.
