This review meeting brought together authoritative forces in the industry. The review expert group was led by authoritative figures including Zhao Lijun, a renowned water supply and drainage expert in architectural design and professor-level senior engineer; Gong Yue, a standardization expert and senior engineer; and Li Yuye, a senior engineer from the Guangzhou Quality Supervision and Testing Institute. Lin Zeyu, President of the Guangdong Stainless Steel Materials and Products Association, and representatives from multiple participating units also attended the meeting, which was hosted by Secretary-General Huang Gengyan. Upon recommendation, Professor Zhao Lijun served as the leader of the expert group to coordinate the standard review work.
In the rigorous review process, the expert group conducted chapter-by-chapter review, on-site questioning, and in-depth discussions on the draft submissions of the two standards. Finally, they unanimously confirmed that the two standards strictly comply with national laws and regulations and the requirements of GB/T 1.1—2020 Directives for Standardization Work. They are highly consistent with the current national and industrial standards, and the documentation is complete and standardized, laying a solid foundation for approval. More notably, the expert group highly appraised the technical level of the two standards, clearly defining them as "domestically pioneered and internationally advanced".
It is reported that the two standards in which Guangzhou Mayer has deeply participated in compiling each have distinct focuses and great significance: Passivation Specification for Stainless Steel Pipes for Drinking Water specifies core contents such as material requirements, process flows, quality inspection, and traceability management, providing clear passivation technical guidance for the industry; Guide for Selection of Surface Treatment Processes for Stainless Steel Water Pipes establishes a comprehensive process selection system for different water quality conditions, filling the gap in the industry in terms of guidance on inner surface treatment processes for water pipes. The implementation of these two standards will provide a scientific basis for the production and application of high-quality stainless steel water pipes, significantly improve product quality and safety as well as the service life of pipes, and accelerate the standardized upgrading of the industry.
Having been deeply engaged in the stainless steel water pipe field for many years, Guangzhou Mayer has always taken technological innovation as its core and regarded standard development as its responsibility. This time, participating in the compilation and promoting the approval of these two "domestically pioneered and internationally advanced" standards is not only a high recognition from the industry of the company's technological strength and professional accumulation, but also a vivid practice of the company fulfilling its social responsibility and leading industrial upgrading. In the future, taking the implementation of these two standards as an opportunity, Guangzhou Mayer will further integrate the standard requirements into the entire chain of product R&D, production, and services, continuously enhance its core competitiveness, and contribute more "Mayer Strength" to ensuring the safety of drinking water and promoting the high-quality development of the industry.
At present, the compilation team has launched the standard revision work and plans to incorporate expert opinions to complete the submission draft for approval as soon as possible.
