The world's first professional international standardization technical organization for artificial ice and snow landscapes has landed in China

China News Service, Harbin, October 8 (Reporter Wang Lin) Harbin Ice and Snow World Co., Ltd. announced on the 8th that according to the announcement of the China National Standardization Administration Committee, the company was officially approved to serve as the secretariat and domestic technical counterpart of the International Organization for Standardization Artificial Ice and Snow Landscape Technical Committee (ISO/TC358).

This is the first ISO technical organization secretariat in China’s ice and snow industry. It marks the official landing of the world’s first professional international standardization technology organization for artificial ice and snow landscapes in China, filling the gap in the international standardization organization structure in this field.

With the continuous advancement of "motivating 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", China's ice and snow economy is expanding from the characteristic business formats in the northern region to the entire country. Looking around the world, countries have significant differences in their technical systems in terms of construction technology, safety management and control, and ecological and environmental protection. The lack of unified international technical rules has become a shortcoming that restricts the cross-border coordinated development of the industry.

The Artificial Ice and Snow Landscape Technical Committee (ISO/TC358) was initiated by China. China has built a complete industrial system covering ice and snow engineering construction, cultural tourism operations, and green and low-carbon technologies, accumulated a large number of localized innovative practices, and has the comprehensive ability to lead the formulation of international rules in this field.

The committee's business scope covers the full chain standardization business of safety, design, construction, operation, maintenance and sustainable development of indoor and outdoor artificial ice and snow landscape structures. It will systematically carry out the development of a series of international standards for basic terminology, engineering construction, safety protection, green and low carbon, etc.

The relevant standards are not only suitable for the construction and operation of large-scale outdoor ice and snow parks in northern China, but also take into account diversified application scenarios such as indoor ice and snow venues and temporary urban ice and snow installations in southern China. They not only broaden the international perspective for the standardization and high-quality upgrading of China's ice and snow industry, but also provide a unified technical basis for the global artificial ice and snow landscape industry.

In the next step, Harbin Ice and Snow World will promote the preparation of the secretariat and complete the work of personnel application review, expert database construction, and international liaison mechanism construction. Relying on this international platform, China will transform mature ice landscape construction, safety management, and green practical experience into international standards. (over)
