HJ/T 296-2006Technical requirement for environmental labeling products. Sanitary wares (English PDF)

Foreword

In order to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of

China; effectively use and save resources; reduce the impact of sanitary ceramics on

the environment and human health in the production, use and disposal process; and

guide and promote the production and use of environmentally friendly products; this

Standard is formulated.

This Standard stipulates the soluble lead and cadmium content limits of sanitary

ceramics in accordance with the environmental standards in "Civil Engineering and

Civil Building Materials" of South Korea. The radioactive specific activity index of

sanitary ceramics is formulated based on the use of raw materials for sanitary ceramics

in China. The principle of saving-water stipulates the maximum water consumption of

the toilet; meanwhile, it stipulates the recycling rate of industrial waste generated

during the production of sanitary ceramics.

This Standard has partially modified the technical contents of Certifiable Technical

Requirement for Environmental Labeling Products – Sanitary Ceramics (HBC 16-

2003).

Compared with the Certifiable Technical Requirement for Environmental Labeling

Products – Sanitary Ceramics (HBC 16-2003), the main changes of this Standard are

as follows.

--- Add the requirements for soluble lead and cadmium in sanitary ceramics, the

requirements for the maximum water consumption of urinals and squatting pans,

and the requirements for the recycling rate of industrial waste generated during

the production of sanitary ceramics;

--- Modify the radioactive specific activity index of sanitary ceramics;

--- Delete the requirements for water absorption and crack resistance of sanitary

ceramics.

This Standard is a recommended standard, applicable to the certification of

environmental labeling products in China.

This Standard was proposed by the Department of Science & Technology, and

Standards of the State Bureau of Environmental Protection.

Chief drafting organizations of this Standard. Environmental Development Center of

State Bureau of Environmental Protection; and National Research Center for Testing

Techniques for Building Materials.

This Standard was approved by the State Bureau of Environmental Protection on

August 23, 2006.
