Discussion—Talking about the impact of the new waterproof regulation GB55030 on the metal roofing industry？

GB55030-2017 "Code for Construction and Acceptance of Building Waterproof Engineering" is China's national standard for building waterproof engineering. This standard came into effect on September 1, 2018. This standard clarifies the construction and acceptance requirements of building waterproofing projects, including the waterproof construction and acceptance standards of metal roofing, which has had a profound impact on the metal roofing industry.

On the one hand, the GB55030-2017 standard specifies the requirements and construction methods for the waterproof layer of metal roofs. According to the standard, the metal roof must be constructed on the waterproof layer, and the waterproof layer must meet the relevant national standards. At the same time, the standard also stipulates the specific requirements for the thickness, material and construction process of the metal roof waterproof layer. These normative requirements and specific operation guidelines have put forward higher requirements for the operation of metal roof manufacturers and installers, and promoted the improvement of the waterproof quality of metal roofs.

On the other hand, the GB55030-2017 standard also specifies the acceptance criteria for metal roof waterproofing projects. During the acceptance process, a comprehensive inspection and test must be carried out to ensure that the waterproof performance of the metal roof meets the national standards. These requirements have strengthened the quality control and acceptance standards of metal roof waterproofing projects, and have a positive role in promoting the overall level of the metal roof industry.

Overall, the impact of the GB55030-2017 standard on the metal roofing industry is far-reaching. By standardizing the materials and construction methods of the metal roof waterproofing layer and strengthening the acceptance criteria for metal roof waterproofing projects, the standard has promoted the quality improvement and technical level of the metal roofing industry. At the same time, the standard also strengthens the sense of responsibility and service awareness of metal roofing manufacturers and installers, and plays a positive role in promoting the quality and safety of buildings.
