[Standard Upgrade] The new national standards for cables and concrete fire‑retardant coatings officially came into effect in June.

2026-07-15

2026 year 6 month 1 On [date], “Cable Fire-Resistant Coating” ( GB 28374-2025 ), "Fireproof Coating for Concrete Structures" ( GB 28375-2025 ) Two new national standards have officially come into effect, accompanied by the simultaneous implementation of entirely new fire‑protection certification rules for fire‑resistant materials, comprehensively upgrading the technical requirements for specific sub‑categories of fire‑retardant coatings.

The new standard places particular emphasis on enhancing core performance indicators such as aging resistance, water resistance, and fire‑resistance stability, specifically tailored to meet the demanding fire‑protection requirements of complex environments like tunnels, underground utility tunnels, and concrete structural members. At the same time, the certification framework strengthens oversight of manufacturers’ production consistency by intensifying unannounced factory inspections and product sampling, rigorously cracking down on violations such as discrepancies between certified products and supplied goods, as well as unauthorized private‑label manufacturing and contract‑manufacturing practices. These measures comprehensively elevate both product quality and industry standardization in the cable and concrete‑structure fire‑protective coating sectors.

[New Industry Regulation] On August 1, the revised national standard for environmentally friendly fire‑retardant coatings for steel structures officially came into effect.

[Project Management] Authorities in multiple regions have tightened oversight of fire‑retardant coating applications, establishing strict, non‑negotiable thresholds for selecting appropriate fire‑resistant materials.
