The issue of environmental pollution is becoming increasingly severe. Since the State Council issued the "Three-Year Action Plan for Winning the Blue Sky Defense War," the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become a top priority in China's air pollution prevention efforts. To accelerate the improvement of ambient air quality and win the Blue Sky Defense War, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Management Committee jointly issued multiple national mandatory standards for VOC raw material products (coatings, adhesives, inks, and cleaning agents) in 2020. These efforts vigorously promote source substitution and reduce VOC generation. VOC control has gradually shifted from end-of-pipe treatment to a combination of end-of-pipe treatment and source control. This change has had a profound impact on a wide range of enterprises involved in the production, use, and distribution of VOC raw materials. In the future, China's manufacturing industry will unwaveringly pursue the path of green manufacturing and smart manufacturing.

To help enterprises actively respond to VOC control, Jiayu Testing has obtained China Metrology Accreditation (CMA) for the testing standards related to coatings, adhesives, inks, cleaning agents, and their supporting tests under the Blue Sky Defense War VOC control. We can provide enterprises with testing services for VOCs and specific volatile organic compounds, ensuring that their products comply with the national mandatory standards for VOCs and helping them win the Blue Sky Defense War!

(I) Introduction to VOCs

VOC is the English abbreviation for Volatile Organic Compounds. It generally refers to organic compounds that easily volatilize at room temperature. Common examples include benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, styrene, formaldehyde, TVOC (alkanes with 6-16 carbons), ketones, and others. These compounds are characterized by their volatility and lipophilicity and are widely used in industrial sectors such as footwear, toys, paints and inks, adhesives, cosmetics, and interior and automotive decoration materials. In addition to polluting the environment, VOCs also have a significant impact on human health, damaging the liver, kidneys, brain, and nervous system, leading to serious consequences such as memory loss, and may even cause cancer.
