Ti Certification Becomes One of the First Verification Bodies
On September 4, the China Building Materials Federation issued the Notice on Launching the Application for Building Materials Product Carbon Labeling, marking the official start of the application process for building materials carbon labeling. The list of the first batch of third-party verification bodies for the Building Materials Carbon Label Public Service Platform was also announced.
Ti Certification (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Ti Group, has been recognized as one of the first third-party verification bodies for the Building Materials Carbon Label Public Service Platform.
A Major Milestone for the Low-Carbon Transformation of the Construction Industry
Given the construction industry's significant role in the national economy and its substantial impact on upstream and downstream industries (such as building materials production, construction equipment manufacturing, construction, and building operations), as well as the fact that the entire construction industry chain accounts for about half of the country's total carbon emissions, promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of the construction industry will have a positive ripple effect. This transformation is crucial for achieving China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
Therefore, improving market-oriented dual-carbon certification for the construction industry and establishing feasible credit policies will guide the green and low-carbon transformation of the sector. This will also provide critical support for achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality in the construction field and across the nation.
Building Materials Carbon Label Public Service Platform
The Building Materials Carbon Label Initiative and Public Service Platform (http://ecolabel.greenjc.cn) is a key project initiated and managed by the China Building Materials Federation, focusing on the disclosure of carbon footprint information for building materials products.
In the context of global climate change efforts and China's "dual carbon" goals, the platform uses "carbon labeling" as a tool to promote unified carbon footprint accounting methods for key building materials products, build a carbon emission factor database for building materials products, and encourage carbon label demonstrations for typical products. This will effectively drive the scientific sharing of carbon footprint information, enrich carbon footprint application scenarios in the building materials and construction industry chains, establish a foundation for international mutual recognition, and promote the low-carbon transformation of the building materials industry.
The general public and stakeholders in the building materials industry value chain can access verified carbon footprint information for various building materials products through the Building Materials Carbon Label Public Service Platform.
Through the public service platform, carbon label applications can be submitted for products within the scope of the relevant technical documents. Currently, verifiable products include: spheroidized graphite, fall arresters, friction materials, flake graphite, coatings, cement products, ready-mixed concrete, building lime, glass, wall materials, manufactured sand and gravel, cement, ready-mixed mortar, ceramic tiles (plates), rock (mineral) wool and its products, and limestone. The range of verifiable product categories will gradually expand.
Being recognized as one of the first verification bodies for the Building Materials Carbon Label Public Service Platform is a testament to the professional expertise of Ti Certification. Ti Certification will continue to lead industry exploration, provide technical support for the environmental performance of building materials, and contribute to a greener future.
