"Eco-friendly Booth Evaluation Standards" Partly Drafted by LINGTONG

Chinese Ministry of Commerce has released the “Eco-friendly Booth Evaluation Standards” (Standard No.: SB/T 11090-2014) on June 20, 2018, which will go into effect officially from April 1, 2019. The standards were proposed by the Circulation Industry Promotion Center of the Ministry of Commerce and mainly drafted by LINGTONG Exhibition Systems.

Over recent decades, the Chinese exhibition market has developed rapidly and played an important role in the global exhibition industry. However, with the rapid expansion of the number and area of trade shows, the disadvantages of unbalanced development are gradually exposed. Serious pollution in venues, huge consumption of resources and energy…These problems have a serious effect on the sustainable development of China's exhibition industry. It is urgent for China's exhibition industry to change, attaching great importance to quality instead of speed. It is the first step to transform and upgrade China’s exhibition industry and will be the only way for China’s exhibition industry to continue development.

The new standards have rigorous parameters and good coherence, clearly listing the requirements for an eco-friendly booth in design, material, environment, safety, and construction. It will be a guideline for other departments to release related regulations and will provide support for the green development of the exhibition industry.

As an industry leader and the main drafter, LINGTONG has been actively cooperating with the Circulation Industry Promotion Center of the Ministry of Commerce. We participated in the whole process of the draft of industry standards and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to push the retrieval and discussion of related standards in the early stage.

“Eco-friendly Booth Evaluation Standards” (SB/T 11217-2018) is the fifth released industry standard that LINGTONG participated as the main drafter.

4 other standards have been published and implemented:

- Specification for energy saving and consumption reduction in exhibition industry (Standard No.: SB/T 11090-2014)

- Exhibition Demountable Desk (Standard No.: QB/ t4936-2016)

- Exhibition Equipment Terms – Aluminum Booth (SB/T 11161-2016)

- Classification & Technical Specification for Booth (SB/T 11162-2016)

LINGTONG will continue to abide by all provisions of standard strictly, keep up with the development of the exhibition and display, gain access to the latest technology, and reduce the consumption of energy and materials during production. As a leader in China’s exhibition industry, LINGTONG will promote the further implementation of the green exhibition, and realize the sustainable development of China’s exhibition industry.
