Short Of Regulation Result Standard B Insulation Materials Spread Into the Market

 PUWORLD(2012-3-19)--At the early period of promotion, our exterior wall insulation technology failed to reach strict fireproof standard, which led to pell-mell development for low end insulation material. Products with inferior quality can be seen everywhere in the market. Whole market was still at low development level. Low capacities group still keep watch and see stance and even use all excuses to impede the standards from implementations and unification, which led to a low capacities consisting in the market while high capacities failing to healthy development. Lack of mandatory standard led to inflammable and combustible materials entrance into market for competition and winning the prices advantage. Market trapped into disorder competitiveness malignancy cycle.

Now Standard B insulation material is on sale and Standard A had no availabilities. On the other hand, according to the material suppliers, Standard B1 and B2 insulation panel were sold at Rmb 95/m2. While Standard A pricing will be largely decided by the types, for example rock wool was sold by hundreds of RMB while STP was close to Rmb 100//m2. Most contractors were still used the Standard B combustible thermal insulation material.

Regulation needed to be strengthened. Fire control examination and fireproof design and selective examination should be the focus. During the construction process, spot examination needed to be consolidated. At the fire control & examination and completion acceptance filing selective examination stage, spot examination needed to be enhanced.
