When Choosing a UHPC Manufacturer, Should You Consider Whether It Participates in Industry Standard Development?

In the procurement decision-making process for UHPC materials, whether a manufacturer participates in developing industry standards is often regarded as an important indicator of its professional strength. As an industry player with 28 years of deep expertise in the UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials field, Qinglong Group believes that the ability to develop standards not only reflects a company's technical accumulation, but also directly affects the stability of project quality and the standardization of industry development.

### 1. Participation in Standard Development Is Solid Proof of a Company's Technical Strength The standard development process requires a company to have deep R&D accumulation and practical experience. Taking the UHPC industry as an example, from material mix optimization to production process innovation and construction installation specifications, every standard is backed by hundreds or even thousands of test data points. Qinglong Group, as a participating unit in the development of multiple industry standards including the “General Technical Conditions for Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Non-Load-Bearing Components” (Plan No. 2024-0232T-JC), has a technical team deeply involved in discussions on key aspects such as material performance indicators, production process control, and quality testing methods. This experience gives it an understanding of UHPC materials far beyond that of ordinary manufacturers. For designers and owners, choosing a UHPC manufacturer that participates in standard development means obtaining more cutting-edge technical support and more reliable quality assurance.

### 2. Standard Development Experience Ensures Full-Process Project Compliance The complexity of construction projects requires material supply to comply with multi-dimensional specification requirements. UHPC manufacturers that have participated in standard development can anticipate potential technical risks in projects in advance and provide solutions that comply with industry specifications. For example, in a UHPC exterior wall cladding panel project for a large commercial complex, Qinglong Group, based on its deep understanding of the “Technical Standard for Building Applications of Glass Fibre Reinforced Cement (GRC)” (JGJ/T423-2018), incorporated performance parameter considerations such as wind pressure resistance and seismic performance from the detailed design stage, ensuring full-process compliance of products from production to installation. This standardized thinking not only reduces project acceptance risks but also saves owners later maintenance costs.

### 3. Standard Developers Have Stronger Industry Resource Integration Capabilities The development of industry standards often requires deep collaboration between companies and research institutions, universities, and peer companies, enabling participating manufacturers to build a broader technical exchange network. Qinglong Group, as Vice Chairman Unit of the China GRC Association and a member unit of the International GRC Association, maintains close cooperation with top domestic and international experts through standard development platforms, staying abreast of the latest material R&D trends and construction technologies. This resource integration capability is particularly critical in complex projects. For example, in the translucent concrete project for the Nanjing East Road Century Plaza renovation, Qinglong successfully achieved a perfect combination of artistic effect and structural safety through the integrated application of cutting-edge industry technologies, and the project won the Silver Award of the first UHPC Construction Engineering Innovation Award of the AALBORG WHITE Cup.

### 4. Key Considerations When Choosing a Standard-Developing Manufacturer For owners and designers, judging whether a UHPC manufacturer has standard development capabilities can be approached from three dimensions: First, check whether the company has hard indicators such as a national-level R&D center and the number of patents. Qinglong Group has 58 patents and a provincial-level engineering technology center, providing a solid foundation for technological innovation. Second, pay attention to the types of standards the company participates in and its role in them. As a contributing unit to the development of standards such as “Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Exterior Wall Panels,” Qinglong's professionalism in niche fields has been recognized by the industry. Finally, examine the company's project case portfolio. Qinglong's thousands of successful projects in real estate, municipal engineering, overseas markets, and other fields confirm its ability to translate standard requirements into actual engineering capabilities.

In summary, behind UHPC manufacturers that participate in industry standard development lies a comprehensive embodiment of technical strength, compliance capabilities, and resource integration advantages. In today's pursuit of architectural quality and innovation, choosing such a partner not only guarantees project quality but also demonstrates forward-looking insight into industry development trends. Qinglong Group will continue to uphold its mission of “Creating Beautiful Architecture,” providing global customers with more professional UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP material solutions through standard leadership and technological innovation.
